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 8218 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8218 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

8218 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8218 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4869.0318790539 kt

The final result is:

8218 ft/s → 4869.0318790539 kt

We conclude that 8218 feet per second is equivalent to 4869.0318790539 knots:

8218 feet per second = 4869.0318790539 knots
