speed

Sailfish can swim with a speed of 110 Kilometers  per hour. It is the fastest marine animal in warmer waters.


                                
The peregrine falcon  can reach between 40-60 mph.

  This rocket-powered test plane was designed and built in the early 1960s to see how human pilots could handle flying themselves into space.On October 3, 1967, test pilot Pete Knight took the craft to a mind-bending 4,519 mph, which still stands as the absolute speed record for an airplane. At that speed, you could fly from New York to Los Angeles in approximately 25 minutes.   


Taipei 101 Tower built by Toshiba and GFC Elevator, will rocket you to the 89th floor observation deck at a gut-wrenching 37 mph. For comparison, the Empire State Building's elevator (the 9th fastest in the world) clocks in at a plodding 16 mph.
