AB  - OPTIMIZATION of wing design aims at finding the best compromise between conflicting aerodynamic requirements and considerations of structure weight and stiffness. Since the profile drag of a laminarizcd aircraft is very small, the induced drag has to be correspondingly reduced for proper matching. Reduction of induced drag can only be obtained, for a given dynamic pressure at the cruise, by increasing the span, and that reflects on structure weight.
