Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 8315 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 8315 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

8315 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 8315 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 14034.138961784 ft/s

The final result is:

8315 kt → 14034.138961784 ft/s

We conclude that 8315 knots is equivalent to 14034.138961784 feet per second:

8315 knots = 14034.138961784 feet per second

Alternative conversion
