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 6987 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 6987 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

6987 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 6987 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4139.684319658 kt

The final result is:

6987 ft/s → 4139.684319658 kt

We conclude that 6987 feet per second is equivalent to 4139.684319658 knots:
