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 8418 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8418 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

8418 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8418 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4987.5286393132 kt

The final result is:

8418 ft/s → 4987.5286393132 kt

We conclude that 8418 feet per second is equivalent to 4987.5286393132 knots:

8418 feet per second = 4987.5286393132 knots
