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 8078 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8078 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

8078 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8078 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4786.0841468724 kt

The final result is:

8078 ft/s → 4786.0841468724 kt

We conclude that 8078 feet per second is equivalent to 4786.0841468724 knots:

8078 feet per second = 4786.0841468724 knots

Alternative conversion
