The airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow is roughly eleven meters per second, or twenty-four miles per hour, beating its wings seven to nine times per second rather than forty-three. It's true: a five-ounce bird cannot carry a one pound coconut, but furthermore, no swallow weighs five ounces. The barn swallow, which is what most English people mean when they say "swallow", weighs only twenty grams (two-thirds of an ounce).
