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 8966 knots into feet per second we have to multiply 8966 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

8966 kt → V_(ft/s)

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

V_(ft/s) = 8966 kt × 1.6878098570997 ft/s

V_(ft/s) = 15132.903178756 ft/s

The final result is:

8966 kt → 15132.903178756 ft/s

We conclude that 8966 knots is equivalent to 15132.903178756 feet per second:
