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

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

Is that an African swallow or a European swallow?

167Kmh?

[djam1]

Do you people know nothing 167.2 Kmh

[abaddonxi]

Oh, and don't do the image search.

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.

LMFAO....
