the losses from weight are linear with speed - at high speed completely dwarfed by losses from pushing air out of the way which is quadradic with speed. the wings on race cars are poited down - they increase weight to keep the car on the ground at the expense of more drag, which they overcome with a bigger engine (and more fuel use) |
