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 8646 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8646 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

8646 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8646 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5122.6149460087 kt

The final result is:

8646 ft/s → 5122.6149460087 kt

We conclude that 8646 feet per second is equivalent to 5122.6149460087 knots:

8646 feet per second = 5122.6149460087 knots

Alternative conversion
