Because the whole point is for the wings to provide lift. Many designers spent hours watching how bird wings were shaped and how they moved to provide lift or propulsion.

What is the importance of wings on an airplane?

The importance of wings is critical to an airplane, they produce lift that can sustain the airplane in the air.


Does the shape of the wings on a airplane change how it flies?

Totally, if the wings on an airplane are made incorrectly than the airplane will fall and go Boom. If the wings are made correctly or in a different shape than the techniques of flying will change the way airplanes fly. Try testing different shapes of wings with a paper airplane. See what kinds of wings make the plane go Splat or go Woosh through the air. Also, look at birds. They are the main models of different types of wings for airplane designers. :0)

What paper airplane is the upward force that opposes the force of gravity?

The upward force that opposes the force of gravity on a paper airplane is called lift. Lift is generated primarily by the wings of the airplane as it moves through the air, creating a difference in air pressure above and below the wings. This force allows the paper airplane to stay aloft and counteracts the downward pull of gravity. The design and angle of the wings significantly influence the amount of lift produced.

How do paper airplanes fly and what factors contribute to their flight capabilities?

Paper airplanes fly due to the principles of aerodynamics. The factors that contribute to their flight capabilities include the design of the airplane, the weight distribution, the shape of the wings, and the force of the throw. The design of the airplane affects its stability and lift, while the weight distribution and shape of the wings impact its ability to stay in the air. The force of the throw determines the initial speed and trajectory of the airplane.


How do paper airplanes work and what factors affect their flight performance?

Paper airplanes work by utilizing the principles of aerodynamics. When thrown, the wings of the paper airplane create lift, which allows it to stay in the air. Factors that affect a paper airplane's flight performance include the design of the airplane, the weight distribution, the shape of the wings, and the force of the throw.


How wings assist in flight?

They assist by generating lift based on the plane's engine thrust,wing design,etc.The wings are specifically designed so that the pressure from the airplane's forward momentum builds up below the wing,thus generating lift and enabling the airplane to fly
