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 8921 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8921 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

8921 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8921 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5285.5479913653 kt

The final result is:

8921 ft/s → 5285.5479913653 kt

We conclude that 8921 feet per second is equivalent to 5285.5479913653 knots:

8921 feet per second = 5285.5479913653 knots
