Conversion formula

The conversion factor from knots to feet per second is 1.6878098570997, which means that 1 knot is equal to 1.6878098570997 feet per second:

1 kt = 1.6878098570997 ft/s

To convert 8920 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 8920 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from knots to feet per second. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 kt → 1.6878098570997 ft/s

8920 kt → V_(ft/s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in feet per second:

V_(ft/s) = 8920 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 15055.26392533 ft/s

The final result is:

8920 kt → 15055.26392533 ft/s

We conclude that 8920 knots is equivalent to 15055.26392533 feet per second:

8920 knots = 15055.26392533 feet per second

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 foot per second is equal to 6.6421950817983E-5 × 8920 knots.

Another way is saying that 8920 knots is equal to 1 ÷ 6.6421950817983E-5 feet per second.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that eight thousand nine hundred twenty knots is approximately fifteen thousand fifty-five point two six four feet per second:

8920 kt ≅ 15055.264 ft/s

An alternative is also that one foot per second is approximately zero times eight thousand nine hundred twenty knots.
