How long would it take an African swallow to fly to the moon if it were fully laden?

Swallows require air both to breathe and to create lift, therefore it would be impossible for it to fly to the moon. However, it would probably get farther than an English swallow given their respective weight-ratios.

What is the airspeed of an African swallow?
7-9 wing beats per second but for it to carrya coconut from France to England it would have to beat its wings 42 times a second
Can horses eat sumac?
They probably can telling that it is a plant but it would be harder for them to swallow it.
Who would win a fight African Lion or Megalania?
African Lion
Would lion eat a African cat?
A Lion is an African cat.
Which animals swallow their food whole?
The only thing that stands a ghost of a chance at catching a swallow would be a falcon, and then only on a stealth attack.
How long would it take for an African swallow to fly to the moon?
It depends on if it is carrying a coconut or not. An unladen swallow can fly at about 10 meters per second. It is 384,400 kilometers to the moon, so it would take the swallow 1 year, 2 months, 18 days, 18 hours, 59 minutes and 46 seconds to get there. A fully laden swallow would take longer.
Can you swallow if you have no brain?
No. If you do not have a brain, you would not be alive, so you would not be able to swallow.

Can you take your African dwarf frogs out of the water for like 5 minutes?
No, they're fully aquatic so they would dry out
How would you use 'swallow' in a sentence?
An example sentence with 'swallow': I couldn't swallow my cereal as I had a sore throat.
In Florida were would you see a swallow tail?
At the other end of the swallow.
Can you give a dog Listerine?
I would say no, because you arent suppose to swallow it and dogs would swallow the listerine...
Can you play monopoly in a refugee camp with Osama bin Laden?
Considering that bin Laden is dead, my inclination would be to say, "No".
What if Osama bin Laden was never born?
if osama bin laden was not born the twin towers would not have fallen and the u.s. army would not have to waste alot of bullets
What is the forward velocity of a laden swallow and how does this compare to the unladen swallow of Monty Python fame?
An unladen swallow may fly at around 11meters per second, but common sense suggests that if the swallow is carrying extra mass (i.e. is laden, and not too heavily) it will have to work harder just to stay in the air, and will have less capacity to make forward progress through the air. Christoph Schiller, author of the Motion Mountain free physics text book, reproduces a graph (on page 41 in the 21st version) by Henk Tennekes (probably from his book The Simple Science of Flight: From Insects to Jumbo Jets) that appears to show that there is a direct relationship between wing loading and cruising speed for both birds and aircraft, such that higher wing loadings are directly related to higher cruising speed. I queried Schiller on this point and was brushed off. It seems to me that, in the case of any particular model of fixed-wing aircraft, a heavier load (giving a higher wing loading) increases the craft's weight and the wings would have to operate at a higher angle of attack in order to generate more lift for the same airspeed. The higher angle of attack would give rise to more drag which would tend to slow the craft down, assuming that the thrust remained the same. So there you have it. Christoph Schiller (a physicist) seems to quote Henk Tennekes (supposedly an expert in aerodynamics, and part-time climate-change skeptic) as claiming the velocity would be higher in the laden case, whereas common sense and my high-school physics suggests that a heavily laden flyer will make slower forward progress. 12.2 feet per second :) depending on whether it's African or European.
Did obama say bin laden is innocent until proven guilty?
No, he never said that. He did say that if Osama Bin Laden were captured alive, he would receive a fair trial. But he mostly said that he was committed to finding Osama Bin Laden, and as Commander in Chief, if his military located Bin Laden, he would give the order to capture or kill him.
If you swallow a jellybean whole would it disintegrate?
Yes, it would.
