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 8080 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 8080 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

8080 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 8080 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 13637.503645366 ft/s

The final result is:

8080 kt → 13637.503645366 ft/s

We conclude that 8080 knots is equivalent to 13637.503645366 feet per second:

8080 knots = 13637.503645366 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 7.3327203130744E-5 × 8080 knots.

Another way is saying that 8080 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 7.3327203130744E-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 eighty knots is approximately thirteen thousand six hundred thirty-seven point five zero four feet per second:

8080 kt ≅ 13637.504 ft/s

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