but also creates more drag the shape of the wing is also a factor

Will a wide wingspan have a better advantage over long wingspan?

It depends. Long narrow wings on planes and birds have an advantage for long distance flight where maneuverability is not a big issue. Shorter broad wings on planes or birds provide an advantage for making quicky rolls and turns, where maneuverability is the advantage.

How wide is an airplane?

There are all kinds of aircraft and therefore many sizes. The first aircraft I flew in was a DeHavilland Chipmunk, a little less than 3 feet wide in the fuselage, with a wingspan of 34 feet. Today's largest airliner, the Airbus A380 has a fuselage almost 24 feet wide and a wingspan of 261 feet.


How does the wingspan of a paper airplane affect how far it flies?

The greater the wingspan, the greater the surface area. The greater the surface area, the greater the lift. The greater the lift, the longer flight duration. Generally, the longer and narrower a plane's wings are, the more efficient they are and the farther they will fly (e.g., the albatross). However, if you force very wide wings to fly at very high speed, they will induce very high drag rates very quickly. It will also impose very high stresses in the wing, which will require imaginative bracing and reinforcing which will add more weight which means you need more power which means a bigger engine... see where this is going?? All airplanes are a collection of compromises, including the paper one in your hand.
