Wing

In aviation, a wing is a flat or curved airfoil that produces lift, which supports an aircraft in flight. Wings are typically attached to the fuselage of an aircraft and come in various shapes and sizes depending on the type of aircraft and its intended use. The shape and size of a wing determine its aerodynamic properties, including lift, drag, and stability. Wings can be fixed or movable, and some aircraft have multiple wings, such as biplanes and triplanes. The design and construction of wings are critical to the performance and safety of an aircraft.
