Skydivers can reach 150mph velocity. This is not even cruising speed for a peregrin falcon, in this clip it's estimated that the falcon must have accelerated beyond 180mph. From the BBC.

  • not really acceleration to both animals is due to gravity and the only limiting force will be air resistance,as a cheetah is larger it therefore has a larger surface area so has more area to resist the air as it falls the mass or weight of the animals has no affect whatsoever so the smaller falcon will travel faster

  • @MrFuckyoumannn Just about anything would technically go faster than a cheetah if given miles' worth of space to fall.

  • good after i die please reencarn me in a peregrin falcon.
