Yea but a Peregrine Falcon dives faster than the theoretical maximum impact velocity, its such a well designed bird it can achieve flight physics we still cannot.
@sergeig6856 жыл бұрын
What the hell is a "theoretical maximum impact velocity"???
@turboshaft19596 жыл бұрын
Sergei Gridnev hes probably talking about terminal velocity. The terminal velocity is the falling velocity at wich the gravitational acceleration equals the deceleration due to air resistance. So its the fastest possible free fall speed in air. It is different for every object, and the falcons terminal velocity is obviously higher than the humans.

Then they would fly up the mountain's chasm & out over the deposit slope... & do it again!! Must have been young Falcons playing😆 (I kinda kept my head down a little until we got off the deposit😒) We talked about returning someday with a radar gun to clock them but never did...

In terms of power:weight and complexity, the bird will win for a very long time to come.
