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 8515 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 8515 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

8515 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 8515 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 14371.700933204 ft/s

The final result is:

8515 kt → 14371.700933204 ft/s

We conclude that 8515 knots is equivalent to 14371.700933204 feet per second:

8515 knots = 14371.700933204 feet per second
