Actually I've already read that Wikipedia article, but it doesn't say anything about weight, except the common knowledge that weight does in fact increase speed. But, I want to know the calculations, if anyone here can help. I've googled and read some articles and some books trying to find a relationship, and I know it's not complex, but I just cannot see how the answer of 130kts came to be.
