Which has more lift a plane with large wings or a plane with small wings flying at the same speed?
A plane with large wings is likely to have more lift because the airflow around the plane is more.
Answer
The amount of Lift produced by a wing depends on several variables: Wing size(plan shape), Airfoil shape and Angle of Attack.
Wings are designed with different airfoil shape. So a large wing will not have the same airfoil shape as a smaller wing for the same aircraft weight. Like wise, the wing can be designed to have a fixed angle of attack that is more on one aircraft than another.

What are the forces of a plane flying at a constant height?
The forces acting on a plane flying at a constant height include lift, weight, thrust, and drag. Lift counters weight to keep the plane in the air, and thrust is provided by the engines to overcome drag and maintain speed.
Forces on steady speed on plane?
When a plane is flying at a steady speed, the forces acting on it are balanced. The main forces involved are thrust (from the engines), drag (air resistance), lift (from the wings), and weight (gravity pulling the plane down). These forces work together to keep the plane moving at a constant speed and altitude.
How can drag be reduced when flying a plane?
Drag can be reduced when flying a plane by minimizing air resistance. This can be achieved by reducing the aircraft's speed, using streamlined designs, retracting landing gear, and keeping the surfaces clean. Additionally, flying at higher altitudes where air density is lower can also help reduce drag.

How does the direction of the lift on a plane compare with its weight as it flies at a constant speed and altitude?
The lift force on a plane is equal to its weight when it is flying at a constant speed and altitude. This balance is necessary for the plane to maintain level flight. If the lift force becomes greater than the weight, the plane will climb; if the lift force becomes less than the weight, the plane will descend.
Who photographs flying planes?
Pictures of planes flying are taken from a similar plane (in speed).
Flying with the wind a plane went 366 mph flying into the same wind the plane only went 310 mph what is the speed of the wind How fast would the plane go if there were no wind?
The speed of the wind is 28 mph. To find the speed of the plane with no wind, we would simply subtract the wind speed (28 mph) from the speed of the plane flying with the wind (366 mph) or add the wind speed to the speed of the plane flying into the wind (310 mph), resulting in 338 mph for the speed of the plane with no wind.
Do you enjoy flying?
I enjoy flying if it is in small aircraft. -Flying in large passenger aircraft is much like riding in a luxury bus and has little to recommend it except speed of travel.
Do planes look like they are flying backwards when viewed from space?
It depends on the angle. From a plane flying past another plane at a higher speed, it can appear that the slower plane is flying backward, tail-first.
When you watch a plane flying high overhead why is it that the sound seems to come from behind the plane?
Because the speed at which you can see the plane is greater than the speed of sound.
Two planes are flying at the speed of sound Plane X is flying at an altitude of 6000 feet and plane Y is flying at an altitude of 15000 feet which is flying faster?
As altitude increases (to about 35,000 ft) air density, pressure and temperature all drop. As density decreases speed of sound increases, but with drop in pressure it drops; these two practically cancel each other out. As temperature drops, speed of sound drops. Thus at 15,000 ft the speed of sound is slower than at 6,000 ft so plane X is flying faster than plane Y.
What is it like flying in an airplane?
Flying in small trainer and sport aircraft can be tremendous fun with amazing sensations of movement and speed. Flying in jet fighters is similar but you are more confined. Flying in large passenger airliners is much like riding in a luxury bus.
How fast is the average plane when flying?
The average speed of a commercial airplane when flying is around 500 to 600 miles per hour.
A plane traveling at a constant speed is able to travel 750 miles in 5 hours How fast is the plane flying?
150 MPH
A plane flying against a jet stream will travel faster than a plane traveling with a jet stream?
No, a plane flying against a jet stream will travel slower than a plane traveling with a jet stream. The jet stream is a high-altitude wind that can either boost or hinder an aircraft's speed depending on the direction of travel in relation to it. Flying with the jet stream provides a tailwind, increasing the aircraft's ground speed, while flying against it results in a headwind, reducing the ground speed.
How does planes have to do with math?
Well, it depends on whether you're talking about a coordinate plane, or a flying plane. You can graph points on a coordinate plane, that's easy. But the flying kind of plane, there are lots of angles involved; at what angle do I take-off/land? Speed, that's another thing, you need speed to be able to stay in the air. That requires math.
A plane is flying north at a speed of 200 miles per hour The wind is blowing at a constant speed of 40 miles per hour from the east What is the resulting speed of the plane calculated to the nearest?
204 mph
