What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

[dmdigital]

There's enough other silly questions floating around at present.

I'm sure someone else will get the reference;)

[TimNZ]

You'll have to ask the King, no doubt he will want to know if it's an Africian or European Swallow. :)

[djam1]

[abaddonxi]

Oh, and don't do the image search.:eek:

[isuzurover]

With or without a coconut (tied to a piece of string held under the dorsal guiding feathers of course)?

[harry]

or, is it a ba swallow?
now which do you want,
airspeed or velocity?
airspeed is pretty straight forward, oh well, it does get confusing when we want 'true airspeed'
but velocity?
in relation to what,
still air?
ground speed?
which velocity are we thinking here?
and 'unladen swallow' - what does that mean?
ie; has the 'welcome swallow' dumped on takeoff, and what is it's unladen weight?
if a' ba swallow' then we need to know empty weight and max gross, fuel and pax weights and luggage, and to determine 'unladen weight' and still be able to fly it we also need to know the minimum fuel load and intended flight distance and also the pilot's 'actual' weight, then we have to determine if the flight can be conducted legally using the minimum parameters.
i'll just go and put out the seed for the mornings bird visitors.

An unladen swallow is basically an air gulp,or the preliminary to a burp.:D


LMFAO....:Rolling:

If it's not on youtube how do we know the swallow really exists? :D

[strangy]

How old is the Swallow?
Is it within its healthy weight range?

Depends how fast your travelling when it hits your windscreen :(

I knew somebody would get it,didn't think it would take this long:D

Don't mean to get picky here but if you check posts 2 & 3 you will find that two people got the reference within 9 minutes of your original posting.:cool:

I think that questions of this nature should be part of the registration process.

Here are some more:

1. Name three things the Romans have done for us.

2. He's not the Messiah, he's a ?

3. So long and thanks for all the ?

3. What's your favourite colour?

4. The holy hand grenade of ?

5. Don't ?

6. You should always know where your ? is.

7. Very good. And what's the scale of this map?



first person to answer all correct gets a Thanks ;-)

Unfortunately, there is no "Half Thanks" button. Consider yourself Half Thanked.

It's been several minutes since I posted. C'mon AULRO....

I suppose I should have started this thread with:


And now for something completely different, It's...




But at this point it's probably more appropriate to say:

Right, stop that! It's silly. Very silly indeed. Start off as a nice little idea...

All correct and bonus points for 3 and 5.

No.7 is the difficult one.
