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 8401 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8401 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

8401 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8401 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4977.4564146911 kt

The final result is:

8401 ft/s → 4977.4564146911 kt

We conclude that 8401 feet per second is equivalent to 4977.4564146911 knots:

8401 feet per second = 4977.4564146911 knots
