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 8239 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8239 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

8239 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8239 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4881.4740388811 kt

The final result is:

8239 ft/s → 4881.4740388811 kt

We conclude that 8239 feet per second is equivalent to 4881.4740388811 knots:

8239 feet per second = 4881.4740388811 knots
