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 8430 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8430 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

8430 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8430 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 4994.6384449287 kt

The final result is:

8430 ft/s → 4994.6384449287 kt

We conclude that 8430 feet per second is equivalent to 4994.6384449287 knots:
