Seems conclusive then, camel spider fastest land invert, dragon fly the fastest air invert.

What about under the water.....

...perhaps among T's, but not, it seems, among inverts, as a whole.

It doesn't say "long distance runner" it says fastest

IME Tapinauchenius sp. are faster than pokies. As are Heteroscodra and Stromatopelma species.

yeh, pedes are phonominally quick off the mark. Blindingly quick, no joke... thats why they scare the crap outta me! lol
buti dont think theyd be the quickest..
Im thinking for fastest IMPACT its probably the mantis shrimp, the 'punch' is near imperceptable. Its so powerful the punch makes a audible pop.
The peak acceleration is more than 10,400x the acceleration of gravity
like 9.6m/s/s.

If Joe calzaghe was able to jab with such speed and power, his punch would be going at escape velocity after just like 0.001 seconds, lol would blatantly kill him quite horribly, but hey.
