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 8087 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 8087 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

8087 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 8087 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 13649.318314366 ft/s

The final result is:

8087 kt → 13649.318314366 ft/s

We conclude that 8087 knots is equivalent to 13649.318314366 feet per second:
