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 8419 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8419 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

8419 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8419 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4988.1211231145 kt

The final result is:

8419 ft/s → 4988.1211231145 kt

We conclude that 8419 feet per second is equivalent to 4988.1211231145 knots:

8419 feet per second = 4988.1211231145 knots
