airplane wing
Aircraft's horizontal extension
An airplane wing is the horizontal structure extending from an aircraft's fuselage that generates lift, enabling flight.
Wings hold fuel tanks, support engines, and house control surfaces like ailerons and flaps.
The term sometimes appears in phrases about proximity or preference: I'd rather sit over the airplane wing than in the back row.
