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 8449 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8449 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

8449 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8449 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5005.8956371534 kt

The final result is:

8449 ft/s → 5005.8956371534 kt

We conclude that 8449 feet per second is equivalent to 5005.8956371534 knots:

8449 feet per second = 5005.8956371534 knots
