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 8048 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8048 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

8048 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8048 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4768.3096328335 kt

The final result is:

8048 ft/s → 4768.3096328335 kt

We conclude that 8048 feet per second is equivalent to 4768.3096328335 knots:

8048 feet per second = 4768.3096328335 knots

Alternative conversion
