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 8600 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 8600 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
8600 ft/s → V(kt)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:
V(kt) = 8600 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt
V(kt) = 5095.3606911491 kt
The final result is:
8600 ft/s → 5095.3606911491 kt
We conclude that 8600 feet per second is equivalent to 5095.3606911491 knots:
8600 feet per second = 5095.3606911491 knots
