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 8502 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8502 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

8502 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8502 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5037.2972786221 kt

The final result is:

8502 ft/s → 5037.2972786221 kt

We conclude that 8502 feet per second is equivalent to 5037.2972786221 knots:

8502 feet per second = 5037.2972786221 knots

Alternative conversion
