Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 8418 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 8418 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

8418 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 8418 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 14207.983377066 ft/s

The final result is:

8418 kt → 14207.983377066 ft/s

We conclude that 8418 knots is equivalent to 14207.983377066 feet per second:
