... If the ‘standard shape’ of the wing is deformed, for example, if there is ice on the surface of the wings, the ‘lift-producing capability’ will be greatly reduced or may totally disappear. The aircraft may not be able to take-off at all. Wing is a very important aspect of the aviation field. All Cat ...

Fixed-wing aircraft
A fixed-wing aircraft is an aircraft, such as an aeroplane, which is capable of flight using wings that generate lift caused by the vehicle's forward airspeed and the shape of the wings. Fixed-wing aircraft are distinct from rotary-wing aircraft, in which the wings form a rotor mounted on a spinning shaft, and ornithopters, in which the wings flap in similar manner to a bird.Glider fixed-wing aircraft, including free-flying gliders of various kinds and tethered kites, can use moving air to gain height.Powered fixed-wing aircraft that gain forward thrust from an engine (aeroplanes) include powered paragliders, powered hang gliders and some ground effect vehicles.The wings of a fixed-wing aircraft are not necessarily rigid; kites, hang-gliders, variable-sweep wing aircraft and aeroplanes using wing-warping are all fixed-wing aircraft.Most fixed-wing aircraft are flown by a pilot on board the aircraft, but some are designed to be remotely or computer-controlled.
