Depends on the weight of the aircraft. A 747 has bigger wings than a A320 but that doesn't mean it will glide longer because a 747 weighs much more than a A320. This is to do with weight opposing the lift force. The more weight, the more lift has to be created in order to overcome it (And then provide extra lift to climb). Hypothetically, putting 747 wings on an a320 would mean it would glide longer yes, but obviously in reality this isn't possible for structural reasons.

What carrys people is very big does not make nests and has wings?
An airplane.
Brief description of airplane?
a large fuselage with two wings and a big jets
Are the flaps on a big airplane extended by jackscrews in those pods on the bottom rear of the wings?
No, by hydraulic rams.
How do gliders fly with no motors?
they glide, as the name implies. it's like a paper airplane. its surface area is big so it sorta "floats" on air.
How do flying dragons or lizards fly and do they use thrust gravity lift and drag or do they just glide?
Jump and glide. They usually have skin flaps on the side of their bodies that catch the air as they fall and help them glide along. Most dragons have wings so that they can fly, but some of them can't because their wings are too small or they do not have any wings at all. But the Asian Lungs are different: they do not have wings but they can still fly. Why? It's because they are powerful enough to glide throgh the air so that it lifts itself. I don't think the lizards that exist today can fly. Most dragons do have wings therefore there fly with them. Some dragons use magic to fly like asain lungs, but some are imensely powerful enough to fly/glide through the air by moving there body in a wave pattern either side to side or lifting their head up and down and letting it flow through their body as if going over a bump. Also dragons like the knucker have small wings but these wings are not big or strong enough to carry them.
How fast can a Ozark Big-Eared Bat fly?
Bats could fly by using their wings by flapping them up and down. When they flap their wings up it is called the upstroke and when they flap it down it is called the downstroke. To regane their energy they glide in the sky to get it all back. Wings of a small bat species are different from those of birds.
Why can the bird fly?
Flightless Birds like the Emu and Ostrich tend to have big heavy legs and small wings. Birds that can fly are more streamlined and have bigger wings. These wings have cross-sections shaped like those of aeroplanes enabling them to glide. Their feathers are flat and light in weight. Some of the bones in their skeletons are hollow as well.
How do you make a paper airplane stay in the air longer than a minute?
just throw it properly and make a very big one

Is the Space Shuttle an airplane?
No, the Space Shuttle is not an airplane in the classic sense. The Shuttle cannot "fly" from place to place like an airplane -- it must be carried from place to place on Earth on the back of an airplane. By the classic definition, an airplane is craft that uses power (engines) to push or pull it through the air while using the "lift" created on the wings to keep it aloft (in the air). The Shuttle uses power during launch, but like a rocket, pushing it up -- the wings are not used to keep it aloft. During reentry power is not pushing it through the air, it is sailing through the air (using the lift on its wings) like a big glider. So, at no time is the Shuttle being pushed through the air while using its wings for lift.
If an airplane is heaver than an ostrich why cant an ostrich fly?
Although this is a good question it requires a simple answer. Even though an ostrich is much lighter its wings are not big enough to accommodate for its size. An airplane is huge but the designer new that and made engines that could easily accommodate. So in basic the airplane has so much more power therefore giving it flight. While the ostrich wings just aren't powerful enough.
How do you cheat big airplane in gta san Andreas?
we can do hundred missions we have many big airplane you can try
