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 8820 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8820 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

8820 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8820 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5225.7071274343 kt

The final result is:

8820 ft/s → 5225.7071274343 kt

We conclude that 8820 feet per second is equivalent to 5225.7071274343 knots:

8820 feet per second = 5225.7071274343 knots

Alternative conversion
