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 8554 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8554 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

8554 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8554 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5068.1064362895 kt

The final result is:

8554 ft/s → 5068.1064362895 kt

We conclude that 8554 feet per second is equivalent to 5068.1064362895 knots:
