[5] [6] [7] According to a National Geographic TV program, the highest measured speed of a peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph). [ 8 ] [ 9 ] However, radar tracks have never confirmed this, the maximum speed reliably measured is 184 km/h (115 mph), but nobody has been able to present unimpeachable measurements of speeds even close to the ...
The bird that can achieve the greatest airspeed is the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), able to exceed 320 km/h (200 mph) in its dives. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] A close relative of the common swift, the white-throated needletail ( Hirundapus caudacutus ), is commonly reported as the fastest bird in level flight with a reported top speed of 169 km/h (105 ...

The peregrine falcon has the highest recorded dive speed of 242 miles per hour (389 km/h). The fastest straight, powered flight is the spine-tailed swift at 105 mph (169 km/h). A roseate tern uses its low wing loading and high aspect ratio to achieve low speed flight.
They are incredibly fast fliers, with the Peregrine falcons having been recorded diving at speeds of 320 km/h (200 mph), making them the fastest-moving creatures on Earth; the fastest recorded dive attained a vertical speed of 390 km/h (240 mph). [12]
It is a large falcon, at 43–50 cm (17–20 in) length with a wingspan of 95–105 cm (37–41 in). Eurasian lanner falcons (Falco biarmicus feldeggi, also called Feldegg's falcon) have slate grey or brown-grey upperparts; most African subspecies are a paler blue grey above.
