1) "flying speed" means
"an airspeed sufficient to provide the lift necessary to support an airplane in level flight"
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/flying%20speed

In other words, it means 最小飞行速度, as in this example:
起飞或着陆速度一般的是失速速度或者最小飞行速度的函数。
"The takeoff or landing speed which will generally be a function of the stall speed or minimum flying speed."

I don't see that sense in dictionary definitions of 飞速.

Conclusion:
In this entry, "flying speed" is a gratuitous literal translation of 飞速, misleadingly not labeled "lit."


2) Used as an adjective ("swift") and adverb ("rapidly").
Adj. -- see M's example: 進步飛速
Adv. -- see LA: 飛速掠過
Diff:
- 飛速 飞速 [fei1 su4] /flying speed/rapid (growth)/
+ 飛速 飞速 [fei1 su4] /swift/rapidly/
