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 8243 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8243 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

8243 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8243 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4883.8439740863 kt

The final result is:

8243 ft/s → 4883.8439740863 kt

We conclude that 8243 feet per second is equivalent to 4883.8439740863 knots:

8243 feet per second = 4883.8439740863 knots
