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 8163 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8163 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

8163 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8163 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4836.4452699826 kt

The final result is:

8163 ft/s → 4836.4452699826 kt

We conclude that 8163 feet per second is equivalent to 4836.4452699826 knots:

8163 feet per second = 4836.4452699826 knots
