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 7980 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 7980 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

7980 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 7980 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4728.0207343453 kt

The final result is:

7980 ft/s → 4728.0207343453 kt

We conclude that 7980 feet per second is equivalent to 4728.0207343453 knots:

7980 feet per second = 4728.0207343453 knots

Alternative conversion
