1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 8178 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8178 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

8178 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8178 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4845.332527002 kt

The final result is:

8178 ft/s → 4845.332527002 kt

We conclude that 8178 feet per second is equivalent to 4845.332527002 knots:

8178 feet per second = 4845.332527002 knots
