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 8118 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8118 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

8118 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8118 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4809.7834989242 kt

The final result is:

8118 ft/s → 4809.7834989242 kt

We conclude that 8118 feet per second is equivalent to 4809.7834989242 knots:

8118 feet per second = 4809.7834989242 knots
