The basic equation for terminal velocity of an object is given by:

V = SqRt [ 2*m*g / r*A*C ]


where m is the mass of the object in kg; g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81
m/s/s; r is the air density in kg per cubic m; A is the projected area of the o
bject in square m; C is the coefficient of drag (no dimensions).
SqRt denotes the square root, * denotes multiplication and / denotes division.
For a long cylindrical rod, from tables, C = 0.8 approximately;
A = pi * .004 * .004 = 5E-5 square metre;
r = 1.3 kg per cubic m (for cold air);
m = .02 kg.
These figures give V = 87 m/s = 312 km per hour (195 mile per hour).
This is a ball park figure as air density can vary from 1.2 -1.4, and the drag c
oefficient will likely be affected by the presence of the in-line fins, so C bet
ween 0.75 and 0.85 - for simplicity the dart has been approximated as a pure cyl
indrical rod. Net result, it gives an idea that the dart will hurt if it hits yo
u.
It is interesting that tests on the early British 12,000lb Tallboy bomb designed
by Sir Barnes Wallis apparently revealed it to reach supersonic terminal veloci
ty and so to wobble off target. But that's for another thread...

Barry ,
If you do the sums for a person free falling with arms and legs out, the termina
l velocity is indeed around 127mph. Taking m = 100kg; A = .5 sq metre; r = 1.3;
C = 1 for high resistance body, gives V = 55 m/s or 198 km per hour (124 mile pe
r hour).
However, as you will have found when sky diving from 13,500 feet, sticking your
head down, tucking your arms by your side and minimising drag, your terminal vel
ocity will probably have touched 200 mph. Again, for m = 100kg, effective area n
ow reduced so that A =.25; drag reduced so C = .8, we have V = 87 m/s = 312 km p
er hour (195 mile per hour). By coincidence, the same as the aerial dart.
