Area is Related to Lift | |

 |
The lift a wing can produce is directly proportional to its area. Remember the equation for lift you learned about in the Airfoils Department? That means when we're using the same airfoil shape, and flying at the same speed and position, we'll get more lift from a wing with a greater area.
Which of these rectangular wings will produce the most lift? |
