1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 8886 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8886 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

8886 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8886 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5264.8110583199 kt

The final result is:

8886 ft/s → 5264.8110583199 kt

We conclude that 8886 feet per second is equivalent to 5264.8110583199 knots:

8886 feet per second = 5264.8110583199 knots
