Best solution at lowest cost?

Slow down.

There is no induced drag here - only parasitic drag.

D = 1/2 Rho Cd S V^2

Also

Thrust Horsepower required = (D*V)/375
Which brings V up to a cube.

FWIW...

I'm already that guy over in the right lane everyone is passing.
Coming from Nebraska last week, my 50 MPH ground speed was almost
overcome by my 100 MPH airspeed!
