  5. Speed of sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound

    T 25 is 298.15 K (= 25 °C = 77 °F), giving a value of 346.1 m/s (= 1 135.6 ft/s = 1246 km/h = 774.3 mph = 672.8 kn). In fact, assuming an ideal gas , the speed of sound c depends on temperature and composition only, not on the pressure or density (since these change in lockstep for a given temperature and cancel out).

    389 km/h (242 mph) [1] [7] The peregrine falcon is the fastest bird, and the fastest member of the animal kingdom. While not the fastest bird at level (horizontal) flight, its great speed is achieved in its hunting dive (vertical flight), the stoop, wherein it soars to a great height, then dives steeply at speeds of over 200 mph (320 km/h).
