Can you be more specific?

In the 1920s, the Swallow Airplane Manufacturing Company had a number of different models. Their "Dallas Spirit", a custom built racer, had a top speed of 126 mph.http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

In its fighter variant, the Messerschmitt Me-262 was nicknamed the "Swallow". The first operational jet fighter in the world, the A-1a variant had a top rated speed of 559 mph.

In 1945, the de Havilland Company designed the DH 108 to test a swept-wing design for jet aircraft. The third prototype, the VW120, was rated for a top speed of 677 mph. To be fair, all three prototypes were destroyed in crashes.http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

I got tired of Monty Python fans asking the question, so I researched the answers.

By the way, most members of the Hirundinidae (swallows and swifts) family have a top speed of around 25 mph.

does everyone else have a "boneyard" of used coffee/cappuccino makers, computer keyboards and mice with the old connectors and old CPUs? I keep meaning to wipe the memory once I figure out how to do it and give them to the city reuse programs but inertial forces are overwhelming...
