It depends on whether you are talking about an African or European swallow.
The airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles per hour*, beating its wings 7-9 times per second (rather than 43). But please note that a 5 ounce bird cannot carry a one pound coconut.
*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.
Ah, a wonderful question, no doubt from monti python ik den holi grale.
Put simply, if it is a european swallow it will be 7,299 km per sq foot. If it is an african swallow it will be 201,836,463,383,900 km per sq foot.
African or European? just kidding, it is 12.2 feet per second
I don't understand what you mean. African or European swallows?
African or European?
Where did you get the coconuts?
10 meters per second.

It depends. Is it African or European?
It depends on the average wind-speed velocity of an African Swallow.

What do you mean, an African or a European Swallow
40 kilometres per hour
The answer is really quite simple... The actual flight speed velocity can change frequently during the flight of the swallow. therefore, in order to determine the answer, one must first take into account the surroundings and forces affecting the bird's flight pattern... for example, a bird higher in altitude will most likely have a high speed, because it is probably stalling and falling back to earth.
What is the air velocity of a swallow

African or European? Well, Suppose it was two swallows?
The average swallow flies at at a cruising speed of 15 beats per second and an amplitude of 22 cm.
African or European swallows? we know they're non-migratory, but are they carrying a cord? Nice answer, #1, takes me right back to the top of the castle. ================================================================================== What, held under the dorsal guiding feathers?
