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 8964 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8964 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

8964 ft/s → V_(kt)

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

V_(kt) = 8964 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5311.024794821 kt

The final result is:

8964 ft/s → 5311.024794821 kt

We conclude that 8964 feet per second is equivalent to 5311.024794821 knots:

8964 feet per second = 5311.024794821 knots

Alternative conversion
