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 8073 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8073 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

8073 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8073 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4783.1217278659 kt

The final result is:

8073 ft/s → 4783.1217278659 kt

We conclude that 8073 feet per second is equivalent to 4783.1217278659 knots:

8073 feet per second = 4783.1217278659 knots

Alternative conversion
