A car with two passengers and fuel weighs 1000 kg. It has wings with an area of 16 m^2 that are designed such that air moving over them must travel 1.05 times as far as air moving under them. How fast must this plane be moving so that wings generate enough lift to offset the plane's weight? The wings are thick. Please give answer in m/s
