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 8536 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8536 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

8536 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8536 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5057.4417278661 kt

The final result is:

8536 ft/s → 5057.4417278661 kt

We conclude that 8536 feet per second is equivalent to 5057.4417278661 knots:

8536 feet per second = 5057.4417278661 knots
