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.

What is the average velocity of an unladen swallow traveling from the south of Africa up to the northern part of France?

The average velocity of an unladen swallow would depend on the specific species of swallow, prevailing wind conditions, and flight path taken. Swallows are known to fly at speeds ranging from 20 to 35 miles per hour.


What is the flightspeed of an unlaiden swallow?

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.
