Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 8020 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 8020 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

8020 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 8020 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 13536.23505394 ft/s

The final result is:

8020 kt → 13536.23505394 ft/s

We conclude that 8020 knots is equivalent to 13536.23505394 feet per second:

8020 knots = 13536.23505394 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 7.3875785697807E-5 × 8020 knots.

Another way is saying that 8020 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 7.3875785697807E-5 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight thousand twenty knots is approximately thirteen thousand five hundred thirty-six point two three five feet per second:

8020 kt ≅ 13536.235 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times eight thousand twenty knots.
