Its diving speed during flight is more than 300 km (186 miles) per hour, making it not only the world’s fastest bird but also the world’s fastest animal.

      With modern tech and ingenuity yes … much much faster.

      But a naked human … fastest recorded running speed is 44.7 kph (27.7 mph) … but in flight, or free fall can reach a stabilized controlled terminal velocity of 193 kph (120 mph) and a maximum controlled streamlined terminal velocity of 500 kph (310 mph)

        I bet a naked human is faster than a naked falcon

          Depends on the temperature.

          Since gravity isn’t affected by weight, they’d both be the same speed, no?

            but larger things have larger mass to area ratio so larger things experience less drag per weight thus resulting in higher terminal velocity

              yes, but supposing a perfectly spherical falcon…
