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 6988 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 6988 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

6988 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 6988 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4140.2768034593 kt

The final result is:

6988 ft/s → 4140.2768034593 kt

We conclude that 6988 feet per second is equivalent to 4140.2768034593 knots:
