I'm pretty sure the beam would be traveling at 299,704,644.54 m/s. It is electromagnetic energy.

- krisoft 6y agoThe point where the beam is aimed would be moving with 250m/s. (or about so) Therefore the hypothetical bird which crosses the beam would only get the energy for a fraction of a second. I don't know if this reasoning is correct or not, but definitely has nothing to do with the speed of light in air. I'm not even sure why you are bringing it up.
- CrazyStat 6y agoI think he's referring to the motion of the beam to track the target.
