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 8081 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8081 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

8081 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8081 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4787.8615982763 kt

The final result is:

8081 ft/s → 4787.8615982763 kt

We conclude that 8081 feet per second is equivalent to 4787.8615982763 knots:

8081 feet per second = 4787.8615982763 knots

Alternative conversion
