I need a moment to wrap my head around that.The only practical way to get a meaningful top speed (other than a completely windless day) is to do two runs, in opposite directions and take the average of the two speeds. I once recorded 84 mph in one direction and just 42 in the opposite direction. An average speed of 63mph.
However, even this result is misleading as it is the product of the peak speed in both directions and will therefore add any wind speed variation during each run to the resulting average speed. Thus, if the wind speed had changed by just 5mph during each run, then the average mph could be up to 10mph lower than the average of the peak speed measured in each direction.
I guess you could do two timed runs in opposite directions over a measured distance but this would be quite difficult to do with any accuracy.

Air density and thermals in the air will play a little role in the speed also. Only real true way to get accurate speed is in an enclosed area that isn’t affected by the elements.The only practical way to get a meaningful top speed (other than a completely windless day) is to do two runs, in opposite directions and take the average of the two speeds.

Hard to believe that is the only place in the state that has it.**** I drive up to B-lo every so often, the only Bitcoin ATM in the state.
Might pull up on you one of these days
The City got hundred's but the State is on funny time.Hard to believe that is the only place in the state that has it.

84 in the UK? No way!
Don't tell Mark...
If they want you to keep up tell them to buy you a helicopter. Lol.Only 84mph because the prevailing wind was probably helping it along by a good 25mph....
Not the sort of thing to try unless you are in a large, open, unpopulated area. I was at a local UK race track at the time filming for a US TV programme that wanted tracking shots of the cars along the main straight. It didn’t help much as the cars were hitting topping 135mph by the end of the straight! Great fun all the same [emoji3]
84 in the Air is fine........ there’s no speed cops with radar guns up there.I'd say "interesting" but you might take it the wrong way.

That's gonna be hard to beat!(and all countries I flew my drone. Germany and Belgium are not visible)
His is in km/h so that’s like 62 mph.That's gonna be hard to beat!
You the Man
His is in km/h so that’s like 62 mph.
Most of my footage is on YTThat passport is what caught my eye. I can imagine the footage he got.
You know I slide off topic from time to time.
