I hope that in the new edition the answer is that they all move at the same speed. How else can you possibly compare them, other than the rating? (Of course, in a race Thunderhawk might always win because it can fly straight and not worry about terrain, but that's handled by giving it a bonus when racing a ground-beast.)
I realize this may make numbers in older publications incompatible, but that already seems to be the case. And it would be great to rationalize things going forwards (especially because I have some other numeric complaints).

Please no. That's going to be SO appealing to new players...
