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 8535 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8535 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

8535 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8535 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5056.8492440648 kt

The final result is:

8535 ft/s → 5056.8492440648 kt

We conclude that 8535 feet per second is equivalent to 5056.8492440648 knots:
