Andy Torbet tries to match the world's fastest animal, the peregrine falcon.

Andy Torbet takes on the world's fastest animal, the peregrine falcon, in a skydive challenge, attempting to plummet to earth at over 240 miles an hour.

Adventurer Andy Torbet takes on one of his toughest assignments to date. Inspired by the spectacular speeds of the world's fastest animal, the peregrine falcon, he attempts to plummet through the skies at over 240 miles an hour. With the help of rocket scientist Angelo Grubsic, Andy sets to work improving his in-air terminal velocity. He turns to engineering for help and jumps out of a plane wearing a unique pair of jet-boots that he hopes will turbo-charge his skydive to match the speed of the peregrine falcon.
