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 8653 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8653 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

8653 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8653 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5126.7623326178 kt

The final result is:

8653 ft/s → 5126.7623326178 kt

We conclude that 8653 feet per second is equivalent to 5126.7623326178 knots:

8653 feet per second = 5126.7623326178 knots
