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 8414 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8414 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

8414 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8414 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4985.158704108 kt

The final result is:

8414 ft/s → 4985.158704108 kt

We conclude that 8414 feet per second is equivalent to 4985.158704108 knots:

8414 feet per second = 4985.158704108 knots

Alternative conversion
