Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 6686 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 6686 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

6686 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 6686 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 3961.3466954678 kt

The final result is:

6686 ft/s → 3961.3466954678 kt

We conclude that 6686 feet per second is equivalent to 3961.3466954678 knots:

6686 feet per second = 3961.3466954678 knots
