In regards to weight, since the wing is the main lifting body, heavier aircraft will require a larger wing with greater wing area.
In regards to speed, a larger wing will of course produce more aerodynamic drag which tends to slow the aircraft down.
Obviously large heavy aircraft must have a correspondingly large amount of thrust to overcome this.

How is the area of a sail related to the weight limit of the pilot?
The larger the area of the sail, the more lift it can generate, allowing it to support a heavier weight. The weight limit of the pilot is determined by the maximum lift that can be generated by the sail, which is influenced by factors such as wind speed, sail design, and angle of attack.
How does weight affect lift?
Weight affects lift because as an object gets heavier, it requires more lift force to counteract gravity and stay airborne. This means that a heavier object will need more thrust or a larger wing surface area to generate enough lift to support its weight. Additionally, weight can impact the wing loading and stall speed of an aircraft.
Can an airplane go faster than its sound?
Yes, some airplanes can travel faster than the speed of sound, a phenomenon known as supersonic flight. Aircraft such as the Concorde and certain military jets can reach speeds exceeding the speed of sound, which is about 767 mph at sea level.
How fast do objects fall through air?
The speed at which objects fall through air depends on factors such as the object's weight, shape, and surface area. In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of size or weight. However, in air resistance affects the falling speed, making smaller and more aerodynamic objects fall slower than larger or less aerodynamic objects.
Why does an airplane that is designed to go fast have smaller wings?
Airplanes designed for speed have smaller wings to reduce drag and increase performance. Smaller wings create less lift, allowing the plane to move faster through the air with less resistance. Additionally, smaller wings help to decrease the overall weight of the aircraft, further enhancing its speed capabilities.
How is the area of a sail related to the weight limit of the pilot?
The larger the area of the sail, the more lift it can generate, allowing it to support a heavier weight. The weight limit of the pilot is determined by the maximum lift that can be generated by the sail, which is influenced by factors such as wind speed, sail design, and angle of attack.
How fast does an airplane need to fly to stay airborne?
The speed required for an aircraft to fly is dependant on many things. The weight of the aircraft, the shape of the wing, the size of the wings. The thing that keeps an aircraft in the air is the lift produced by the wings. This force is calculated by the following formula. Lift= air density * velocity^2 * surface area of the wing. What this basically means is that you can have a massive wing and be able to travel at slow speeds or have really small wings and this requires high speed. For an aircraft to get off the ground the amount of lift needs to be greater than the weight of an aircraft. this depends on things like payload, fuel, size of craft etc. Additionally the air density plays an effect on the speed required for flight. Low density = faster speeds required whilst low density allows for slower speeds if required. In conclusion the speed of an aircraft is dependant on the weight required to be overcome and environmental effects. Just for some information generally the takeoff speed for a Cessna 152 is around 60 knots and for an airbus A330 it is around 150 depending on weight and weather. These are only 2 aircraft in a list of millions and each flight requires a different speed depending on current conditions.
How in fighter aircraft is instant pressure difference created for lift?
Flaps are used on aircraft to increase the wing area of the plane and therefore increase lift and reduce speed.
Do aircraft dump fuel before landing?
Not normally. This is an emergency procedure sometimes done because the maximum takeoff weight is usually larger than the maximum landing weight on aircraft carrying large passenger or freight loads. The dumping of fuel is one action that can be used in an inflight emergency; however, I can guarantee that the takeoff weight of ANY aircraft (unless refueled in flight) is ALWAYS greater than said aircraft's landing weight. Fuel used enroute will always reduce the gross landing weight. Aircraft are generally serviced with enough fuel to make its primary destination and an alternate runway (due of emergency). The landing weight can be adjusted by dumping fuel (normally) in case of damage to the aircraft or destination runway conditions (snow/ice, rain) requiring a lighter aircraft gross landing weight. Naval aircraft operating from Carriers routinely dump fuel to adjust for landing conditions (wet deck, reduced landing area, slower ship speed into the wind, etc...).

How is volleyball related to math?
Volleyball is related to math. You can calculate the balls weight and distance and speed to calculate how hard to hit the volleyball. Or you can calculate the area of the court your playing on. Another way math is related to volleyball is, when your volleyball goes flat, you'll need to know how much air to pump in it. Volleyball is related to math.
Define weight and balance in an aircraft?
The design process has to take into account weight, lift, drag and thrust. For example smaller engines require larger flying surfaces. Fighter aircraft have less wing square area and have stronger thrust jet engines. Such are the tolerances in modern aircraft that they are generally designed to carry twice there recommended loadings.
