Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 8624 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 8624 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

8624 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 8624 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 14555.672207628 ft/s

The final result is:

8624 kt → 14555.672207628 ft/s

We conclude that 8624 knots is equivalent to 14555.672207628 feet per second:

8624 knots = 14555.672207628 feet per second
