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 8406 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8406 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

8406 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8406 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4980.4188336976 kt

The final result is:

8406 ft/s → 4980.4188336976 kt

We conclude that 8406 feet per second is equivalent to 4980.4188336976 knots:

8406 feet per second = 4980.4188336976 knots

Alternative conversion
