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 8415 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8415 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

8415 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8415 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4985.7511879093 kt

The final result is:

8415 ft/s → 4985.7511879093 kt

We conclude that 8415 feet per second is equivalent to 4985.7511879093 knots:

8415 feet per second = 4985.7511879093 knots
