The only 'wingless aircraft' are helicopters. These produce lift lift from the rotor blades, which are in fact, long narrow wings.

What is a rotary aircraft?
A rotory aircraft is essentially a helicopter or a type of aircraft that relies on the movement of its wing to produce lift.
Is it possible for a wingless airplane to be the fastest aircraft in the world?
Yes! A wingless aeroplane is a rocket (or missile).
Can a plane fly without wings?
While there have been some wingless "lifting body" experimental aircraft. All conventional airplanes get the the majority of their lift from their wings and cannot fly without them. No. By definition, A PLANE is a fixed-wing aircraft. The wings are absolutely necessary for lift.
How does a propeller driven aircraft fly?
The propeller pushes or pulls the aircraft forward, once sufficient forward speed is attained the wing can produce lift and the aircraft flies.
How airplanes work?
Fixed wing aircraft work by using a kind of propeller or engine to pull the aircraft forward and the wings produce lift.
Can an airplane fly differently by its shape?
To answer your question directly: yes. An aircraft operates by altering the direction and pressure of a fluid (in this case air) to produce lift. Infact, simply put an aircraft designer alters the shape of the aircraft to control these changes in directions and pressures to control how the aircraft produces lift.
Do All Airplanes Fly?
Any aircraft can fly as long as it can produce enough lift from the wings to overcome the weight. Additional to that the aircraft needs to be of airworthy status
What does the weight of the airplane have to do with the lift of it?
The weight of an aircraft counteracts the lift produced by an aircraft. The heavier an aircraft weighs the greater the lift needed to get off the ground.
What is wing loading of an aircraft?
Wing Loading is the details of the distribution of pressure on an aircraft wing. An aircraft flys by producing Lift by its wings. This lift force depends on the shape of the wing that produces high pressure on the bottom of the wing and low pressure on the top. The center of the lift is usually at the 1/4 chord or 25% of the width of the wing as measure from the leading edge. The Wing Loading can be designed to produce different Lift and ensure the aircraft will be easy to trim for level flight.
What is the lift force in an aircraft?
The lift force is the force acting against the aircraft's weight. For straight and level flight, lift acts in the upward vertical direction and the weight of the aircraft acts in the downward vertical direction. For level flight, lift = weight.
what is airfoils?
an object shaped to produce lift by the bernoulli principle when moving in a fluid
What does the shape of airplane wings have to do with the ability to fly?
Some wings are shaped differently to suit the aircraft that they are used for. For example a very heavy aircraft would use the more curved high lift wing so that it could get off the ground. The wing doesn't need as much airspeed to produce lift.
