"U = 3fA
f = 15 (beats per second)
A = 0.22 (meters per beat)
U = 3*15*0.22 = 9.9
The airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is 10 meters per second."

"Only two species are named after [Africa]: the West African Swallow (Hirundo domicella) and the South African Swallow (Hirundo spilodera), also known as the South African Cave Swallow... Kinematic data for both African species was difficult to find."
