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 8927 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8927 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

8927 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8927 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5289.102894173 kt

The final result is:

8927 ft/s → 5289.102894173 kt

We conclude that 8927 feet per second is equivalent to 5289.102894173 knots:

8927 feet per second = 5289.102894173 knots

Alternative conversion
