    Based upon published species-wide averages of wing length and body mass, initial Strouhal estimates based on those averages and cross-species comparisons, the Lund wind tunnel study of birds flying at a range of speeds, and revised Strouhal numbers based on that study gives an estimate that the average cruising airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles per hour.

      Unless it is traveling in the same vector as is the local gravity field..... with duct tape anything is possible .....

            Just watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail. They should be able to tell you about the air speeds of swallows :D

            Another favorite consipracy theory of mine is/was the Mayan Apocolypse. What it stands for, what it means, etc....

              Well sure, maybe a european swallow

                  Well actually, a European swallow will fly at 38.6 KPH....

                    Yes, but not the true science of it. That was why I provided the link in my previous post - to provide this further clarification as the unladden air speed of either an african or european swallow is no trival science project. and the line about the swallow traveling in the same direction as the local gravity field is simply a joke about duct taping a coconut to a swallow and dropping it off a roof or somewhat...... Just kidding PETA....... just kidding please don't turn me in... i actually like North american barn swallows. European's...not so much...............

                      It was easier to go to the moon in 1969 than it was to fake it. Film and photography werent advanced enough to fake it like they can now.

                        The best reasoning I have ever read on the faking the moon landing..
                        Mom would get pissed when people talked about it being faked! As her parts went there and back!

                              I'm assuming it =24mph, but I didn't feel like doing the conversion, it seemed close enough that it could be right. And it's European, and Europeans use metric.
