A fact from Greenbird appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 24 April 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Greenbird holds the record for the fastest speed attained in a wind-powered land vehicle?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/April.

visuals[edit]

This article really needs one or more photographs of the vehicle, as its design is so unusual that a textual description really doesn't do it justice. Anybody got one? An aerodynamic diagram would be useful, too. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 15:24, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wind speed?[edit]

A claim of highest speed is meaningless without the wind speed it used.It is claimed to go several times faster than the wind. There has probably been a bicycle flung faster by a tornado. Was the speed monitored and reported?Edison (talk) 20:56, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The claim is for a land-speed record, not the fastest object ever blown by the wind. The report on the speed runs is here. It includes windspeed. BTW a Talk page is to discuss the article, not to comment on its contents. Do you have a suggestion for improving the article? Sincerely, HopsonRoad (talk) 01:20, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
