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 8407 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8407 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

8407 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8407 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4981.0113174989 kt

The final result is:

8407 ft/s → 4981.0113174989 kt

We conclude that 8407 feet per second is equivalent to 4981.0113174989 knots:

8407 feet per second = 4981.0113174989 knots

Alternative conversion
