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 8576 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8576 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

8576 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8576 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5081.141079918 kt

The final result is:

8576 ft/s → 5081.141079918 kt

We conclude that 8576 feet per second is equivalent to 5081.141079918 knots:

8576 feet per second = 5081.141079918 knots

Alternative conversion
