    With modern tech and ingenuity yes … much much faster.

    But a naked human … fastest recorded running speed is 44.7 kph (27.7 mph) … but in flight, or free fall can reach a stabilized controlled terminal velocity of 193 kph (120 mph) and a maximum controlled streamlined terminal velocity of 500 kph (310 mph)

        Since gravity isn’t affected by weight, they’d both be the same speed, no?

          but larger things have larger mass to area ratio so larger things experience less drag per weight thus resulting in higher terminal velocity

            yes, but supposing a perfectly spherical falcon…
