Bird that can run faster than Usain Bolt (3)

I believe the answer is:

emu

(Other definitions for emu that I've seen before include "Physics unit" , "that doesn't get off the ground" , "Hull's character" , "Long-necked bird" , "it can't get off the ground" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
