As a note, the [[Jade]] dragons of China are listed as being able to travel 120 miles in two hours, making the average speed 60 miles per hour (about 52 knots) for this journey. This is the fastest sustained flight speed yet mentioned, but short bursts of speed (especially if while diving) would likely be much faster than this. | As a note, the [[Jade]] dragons of China are listed as being able to travel 120 miles in two hours, making the average speed 60 miles per hour (about 52 knots) for this journey.

− | The [[Celestial]] [[Temeraire]] is known to have travelled 160 miles in less than seven hours, albeit unhindered by a crew or harness, putting the speed limit for heavyweights at about 23 miles an hour, or 20 knots. In [[Black Powder War]], he was moving along with an army for 25 miles, spread over two days, and he is described to have flown an "easy two-hour flight" the first day, so 6 miles an hour or 5 knots can be considered a casual heavyweight pace.
