Well, not airspeed, but ground speed.

My sweetie and I are going to pick up some firewood. We don't need much, so
I said, "We can just throw some in the trunk of the car." He said, "Or we
can take the van. We can put sheets down on the floor and pile it in. I
wonder how much weight a van can hold?"

This is a '67 Westy, more or less a project car, still needs quite a bit of
work. (We got it when he was unemployed and has time, now he's employed but
we're still broke, so it's a SLOW project.)

I told him I'd ask you folks: What's the total weight a 1967 VW  Westfalia
camper can carry, between passengers and cargo, and still be happy and healthy?
