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 8311 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8311 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

8311 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8311 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4924.1328725744 kt

The final result is:

8311 ft/s → 4924.1328725744 kt

We conclude that 8311 feet per second is equivalent to 4924.1328725744 knots:

8311 feet per second = 4924.1328725744 knots

Alternative conversion
