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 8247 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8247 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

8247 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8247 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4886.2139092915 kt

The final result is:

8247 ft/s → 4886.2139092915 kt

We conclude that 8247 feet per second is equivalent to 4886.2139092915 knots:

8247 feet per second = 4886.2139092915 knots
