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 8303 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8303 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

8303 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8303 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4919.3930021641 kt

The final result is:

8303 ft/s → 4919.3930021641 kt

We conclude that 8303 feet per second is equivalent to 4919.3930021641 knots:

8303 feet per second = 4919.3930021641 knots

Alternative conversion
