No, much appreciated. If my calculations are correct, 58 m/s is 209
km/hr or about 140 mph.

Their predicted 70 m/s max would be almost 170 mph.

Nice to have a number from a credible source, instead of that old
"peregrine passed my Cessna at 200 mph" wild guess. The difference
between 170 and 200 mph is not insignificant in terms of power/energy
required.

Now if someone could just train a swift to perform on command.
