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 8214 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8214 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

8214 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8214 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4866.6619438487 kt

The final result is:

8214 ft/s → 4866.6619438487 kt

We conclude that 8214 feet per second is equivalent to 4866.6619438487 knots:
