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 8074 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8074 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

8074 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8074 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4783.7142116672 kt

The final result is:

8074 ft/s → 4783.7142116672 kt

We conclude that 8074 feet per second is equivalent to 4783.7142116672 knots:

8074 feet per second = 4783.7142116672 knots
