There is a reason birds fly and pigs do not. Birds have hollow bones and are light. The lift of the wings can support their light weight.

Pigs have heavy bones and do not have the strength to either jump or lift in their appendages to support their weight.

In airplanes, a heavy airplane, C130, must have more lift in the wings than a light airplane.
