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 6986 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 6986 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

6986 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 6986 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4139.0918358567 kt

The final result is:

6986 ft/s → 4139.0918358567 kt

We conclude that 6986 feet per second is equivalent to 4139.0918358567 knots:

6986 feet per second = 4139.0918358567 knots

Alternative conversion
