Does wing length affect the weight a plane can carry?
An aircraft or animal with a low wing loading has a larger wing area relative to its mass, as compared to one with a high wing loading. The faster an aircraft flies, the more lift can be produced by each unit of wing area, so a smaller wing can carry the same mass in level flight.
How does wing placement affect flight?
The wings are shaped and tilted so that the air moving over the top has less room than the air moving below the wings. As it moves faster, the air on top of the wing also loses pressure and push. The slower moving air below the wing maintains more of its pressure, which pushes the wing, and the plane, up.
