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 8674 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8674 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

8674 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8674 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5139.204492445 kt

The final result is:

8674 ft/s → 5139.204492445 kt

We conclude that 8674 feet per second is equivalent to 5139.204492445 knots:
