I'll assume you mean European, since you can't be bothered to think your questions through before asking them. The maximum speed a European swallow can maintain is 13 to 14 meters per second, at the most efficient flapping speed of 7 beats per second. This manifests as an airspeed in the range of 8–11 meters per second. Hope this helps.

Nevertheless, I called the nurse's hotline listed on the back of my insurance card and the answer is yes...the 5th one loves that shit
