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 8518 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8518 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

8518 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8518 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5046.7770194428 kt

The final result is:

8518 ft/s → 5046.7770194428 kt

We conclude that 8518 feet per second is equivalent to 5046.7770194428 knots:
