RECORD SPEED

This entry contains the most recorded or estimated speed record on Earth for human beings and for the means of locomotion. The speed, although the SI (International System) is measured in m / s, is given here in km / h (kilometers per hour), for reasons of convenience and familiarity, and it is generally understood as the average speed or the ratio between the distance traveled and time taken to travel. Where we mean the maximum current speed (a peak value recorded at a given time), this explicit. In some cases it was considered appropriate to set the record concerning the short and long distance, where the short or long depending on the context, because, in general, the absolute speed record (for living beings) can be maintained only for short traits or conditions.
