I have discovered that different wings have different maximum horizontal flight speed. I tested with all of the 3 types of wings that I happen to have:

Harpy Wings:  36 mph

Leaf Wings:  34 mph

Fin Wings:  used my max ground speed

Testing technique: use a Stopwatch to display speed and fly with your head against a flat ceiling to prevent vertical movement.

I am guessing that all wings use your max ground speed if it is higher than the wings' speed, but I don't know of a way to get a max ground speed higher than 34 mph (without using a mount, which disables wings), and fin wings used my ground speed even when it was the base 15 mph, so I can't confirm that yet.

+% movement speed bonuses only affected flight speed if they changed my max ground speed and I used the fin wings. (Again, I interpret this to mean that wings will use your max ground speed if it is higher than the wings' natural speed, but that +% movement speed bonuses do not affect the wings' natural speed at all.)

I find it particularly interesting that Harpy Wings have a higher max speed than Leaf Wings despite having a lesser flight time; this suggests it really is an independent variable, not somehow derived from other stats.

I'm thinking we need another column in this table...
