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 8430 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 8430 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

8430 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 8430 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 14228.237095351 ft/s

The final result is:

8430 kt → 14228.237095351 ft/s

We conclude that 8430 knots is equivalent to 14228.237095351 feet per second:

8430 knots = 14228.237095351 feet per second
