On certain airplanes, the front wing is largest because it contributes the largest amount of lift to the aircraft. The back wing allows for some additional lift for stability. You also have to take into account that the amounts of lift provided by each wing are determined positionally based on the centers of gravity (the amount of weight at each end of the aircraft), with the front and center being typically heavier than the rear tail region.

Are bumble bees really not supposed to be able to fly considering their body size versus their wing size?
There is an old saying: 'The bumble bee is too heavy to fly, but no-one told the bee'. This was strengthened when early aeronautical engineers calculated the lift from a bumble bee's wings and said it was less than the bee's weight. They had made the mistake of treating the wing as a simple aerofoil.It was quite a few years before the real truth was found. As the bee flies, the downstrokes of the wing generate vortices above the wings. These create several times more lift than a simple aerofoil, more than enough for the bee to fly.
How do bees get lift?
It was once said that the bumble bee is too heavy to fly, but no-one told the bee. This wasn't helped when someone calculated the lift generated by the bee's wings and said it wasn't enough to hold the bee's weight.The error arose because the person calculated lift treating the wing as a simple aerofoil. It wasn't until some years later that researchers found the truth: As the bee flaps its wings, on the downstroke vortices are created above the wing, and these greatly increase the lift generated -- more than enough t carry the bee.
How many pairs of wings a honey bee have?
Four Wings:The front and rear wings hook together to form one big pair of wings and unhook for easy folding when not flying.
What causes the buzzing sound of honeybees?
A honey bee's wings beat 11400 times per minute (180 beats a second) causing their buzz sound. I think the answer should be: Quote: "The buzzing sound is heard when the bee makes the air vibrate in some way. It used to be thought that the movement of the wings caused the sound. However the bees can buzz even when the wings are at rest. So it is probably the vibration of the muscles in the thorax causing the thorax to vibrate that makes the buzzing sound." From the website: http://www.bumblebee.org/faq.htm The wings of the bee make up less then one percent of the buzzing sound. The noise almost entirely comes from the bee breathing through its fourteen spiracles across its abdomen. This applies to all other buzzing insects, blue bottles, hornets ect.
How can a bee fly?
they have wings======================Answer #2:They find it the fastest and least dangerous method of travel on their preferreditinerary outside of the hive.Historically, those bees that didn't fly collected very little nectar to contributeto the colony, and were often stepped on. So comparatively few of them wereavailable to pass on their genes when it came gene-bequeathing time, and theyeventually became so rare that they're now regarded as defects by the colonyat large. They're not fed, nobody plays with them, and they're not allowed tointermarry, which guarantees the further monotonic diminution of their numbers.
What is the plural form of bee?

Should a bee fly?
Well, it's a long way to walk to all those flowers! I think you may be thinking of the old saying that a bumble bee is too heavy to fly, but no-one told the bee. This was based on looking at the bee's wings as simple aerofoils, in which case there certainly wouldn't be enough lift. More recent studies have shown that when the bee flaps its wings it generates vortices above the wing which give significantly more lift.

How many times will a butterfly beat its wings in 12 seconds?
A honey bee beats its wings between 200 and 230 times a second.A bumble bee beats its wings between 150 and 230 times a second depending on the size of the bee, with the smaller bees beating their wings faster.
What if an airplane has one wing longer than the other?
If one of the wings are longer , then the longer of the two wings will produce more lift due the increase in surface area .
