You have two skier with same skills, one 70kg and one 80kg, they start a race down the hill, which one is to win?

The heavier because of potential energy!

Now for aircraft we are speed limited, MMO/VMO in our case, the heaviest aircraft will have to reduce his ROD not to overspeed...

Hope it helps!
