Answer:

Least velocity.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Bernauli's equation


p^(2)+(1)/(2)\rho v^(2)+\rho gh= constant

Here, v is the velocity, m is the mass, h is the height, P is the pressure,
\rho is the density

Now according to question.


P_(1)^(2)+(1)/(2)\rho v_(1) ^(2)+\rho gh_(1) =P_(2)^(2)+(1)/(2)\rho v_(2) ^(2)+\rho gh_(2)

Here airplane height is same means
h_(1)=h_(2) then the required equation will become.


P_(1)^(2)+(1)/(2)\rho v_(1) ^(2)=P_(2)^(2)+(1)/(2)\rho v_(2) ^(2)

Therefore,


P_(1)-P_(2)=(1)/(2)\rho (v_(2) ^(2)-v_(1) ^(2))

Therefore according to the situation
P_(1)>P_(2)

This will give the velocity relation
v_(2) >v_(1)

Therefore, airplane can fly with least velocity.
