Swallows can travel about 600 miles in a twelve hour day hunting for insects to eat so the average speed would be about 50 miles an hour.

whether a definitive answer could of direction require extra suitable measurements, revealed species-extensive averages of wing length and physique mass, preliminary Strouhal estimates according to those averages and go-species comparisons, the Lund wind tunnel learn of birds flying at one in each of those speeds, and revised Strouhal numbers according to that learn all lead me to estimate that the common cruising airspeed velocity of an unladen eu Swallow is extra or less 11 meters consistent with 2nd, or 24 miles an hour.

African or European (Also, when you say unladen, does that include the swallow being teathered to another at the same time as carrying a coconut from Africa to Europe)?

I was going to ask if you were referring to an African or European Swallow, but as I've been well and truly beaten to it perhaps I could ask you to qualify the question by answering me these questions three.
Question1 - What is your favourite colour?
Question2 - What is your quest?
Question3 - Is the swallow in question fully fit and prepared for a migratory flight - or has it just completed it's migratory trek and is therefore thoroughly knackered?
