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 8521 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8521 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

8521 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8521 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5048.5544708467 kt

The final result is:

8521 ft/s → 5048.5544708467 kt

We conclude that 8521 feet per second is equivalent to 5048.5544708467 knots:

8521 feet per second = 5048.5544708467 knots

Alternative conversion
