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 7987 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 7987 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

7987 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 7987 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4732.1681209544 kt

The final result is:

7987 ft/s → 4732.1681209544 kt

We conclude that 7987 feet per second is equivalent to 4732.1681209544 knots:

7987 feet per second = 4732.1681209544 knots
