Projections of a Tangent Intersection

Problem

Let ω\omega be the circumcircle of an acute scalene triangle ABCABC. The tangents to ω\omega at BB and CC meet at a point TT, and X,YX,Y are the feet of the perpendiculars from TT to the lines AB,ACAB,AC. Given BT=CT=16BT=CT=16, BC=22BC=22, and TX2+TY2+XY2=1143TX^2+TY^2+XY^2=1143, find XY2XY^2.
