Theoretically, a peregrine falcon, the fastest of the falcon genus, can reach speeds of over 200 miles per hour in a dive. The fastest one has ever been actually measured, however, is about 87 miles per hour.i do agree but it has been a record that a golden eagle beated the flying record of the falcon and the flying record of the golden eagle was was 320 kmph.
AnswerThe speed at which a falcon can fly depends greatly on the species. The fastest animal for example, is the Peregrine Falcon. It can fly at speeds of 55 mph horizontally, but when flying downwards they reach speeds of over 270 mph. This speed can not be match by any other animal in the world, be it on land, sea or sky. However this is only one falcon and the others species can not match their speed.
From a FalconerAs for the Peregrine Falcon... It has been officially clocked at 242 MPH. Nat'l Geographic did a story on it. It happened at the California Hawking Meet in 2002 if I remember correctly. Thus making it the fastest animal in the world. I think her name was Frightfull. If you ever see one of Raptors in a stoop and after prey you are taken to a new level of astonishment. http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=j3mTPEuFcWk copy and paste.. watch till the end.
In this situation the peregrine was dropped from a moving aircraft at ~10,00 feet. Soon after the filming by NatGeo Frightful was clocked reaching a speed of 280 MPH in a downward stoop.
it soars an about 320 km/hr
the fastest-moving creatures on Earth ever!
It really depends on the type of Falcon, but the fastest falcon when hunting for its prey will dive at 200 mph
