Huzzah!
Im reading about how to find the Estimated Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow...
Does that rock or what?
And the answer is!
"Although a definitive answer would of course require further measurements, 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 all lead me to estimate that the average cruising airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour."
I gained this valuable knowledge from Style
That rocked...
Imma go stumble around...
