The question "What is the speed of an unladen swallow?" is famously from *Monty Python and the Holy Grail*, where it's posed as a bridgekeeper's riddle. ### Scientific Answer: If taken literally, the speed of a swallow (a small bird) depends on the species and flight conditions. The most commonly referenced swallow in this context is the **European barn swallow (*Hirundo rustica*)**, which has an estimated cruising flight speed of around **11–16 meters per second (25–35 mph or 40–55 km/h)** when unburdened (unladen). However, this can vary based on wind conditions and whether the bird is gliding or flapping. ### Monty Python Answer: In the film, King Arthur (trying to cross the Bridge of Death) answers: *"What do you mean? An African or European swallow?"* The bridgekeeper then concedes he doesn't know and is flung into the abyss. This implies the joke is about the absurd specificity of the question—highlighting that even a seemingly simple query can be unanswerable without context. So, for fun: - **European swallow**: ~11 m/s (as above). - **African swallow**: Hypothetically, maybe similar (but no species is explicitly called "African swallow"). Would you like to discuss aerodynamics or coconut migration next? 🐦🌴
