On Tuesdays, but sometimes also on Friday afternoons when it's a full moon?

A wing develops more lift when the aircraft is heavy, and the aircraft is pulling positive G. As both, climbs, cruises and descents are normally vertically unaccelerated maneuvers, either one develops the same amount of lift. However, a heavier airplane, or one with a forward CG, would produce (require to be v.unac.) more lift. Also, during transition into a climb, or during a sustained turn, the wing would produce more lift.

Wings don't produce lift - the lift monkeys do.

Honestly, is there no hope any more..................

And what about the vertical component of thrust in the climb?
P.S. Thanks anyway but I'll decline the job offer as a couple of guys have shown me how to live off expences!
