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 8564 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8564 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

8564 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8564 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5074.0312743024 kt

The final result is:

8564 ft/s → 5074.0312743024 kt

We conclude that 8564 feet per second is equivalent to 5074.0312743024 knots:

8564 feet per second = 5074.0312743024 knots

Alternative conversion
