In flight, a wing has lower pressure on top and higher pressure on bottom due to Bernoulli's principle which in turn "sucks" the airplane into the air. The air on top must travel a longer distance than the air on bottom in order to meet up again because of the shape of the wing therefore causing the effects of Bernoulli's principle. Without wings the airplane would just be a really fancy car that cannot fly because it wont be sucked into the air.
