The maximum wingspan of the "Great Albatross" (genus Diomedea) is about 11 feet (3.3 m) from tip to tip. These large wings allow the albatross to fly long distances between isolated islands in their ocean habitats.

What is wing twist?

Wing twist is the change of the angle of incidence of the airfoil, along the span of the wing. This is also called wash out if the wing tip has a smaller or negative angle compared to the wing root, or wash in if the wing tip angle is bigger. Wash out is added to wings to ensure the wing tip stalls first, which makes flying behaviour more predictable and low-speed flight more controllable. For a similar reason, wing tips usually have a shorter airfoil chord than wing roots.
