Dec 19, 2018 at 21:25 comment added zaen @Derrick You're looking for the Reynolds number with regard to scaling. If you're interested in designing a model aircraft that will fly, you should get an introductory textbook for aerodynamics. You can change any property of the wing, but it will have other effects besides just increasing lift.
Dec 19, 2018 at 19:05 comment added Derrick Thanks for your reply. I am trying to make sense of building a model of a cargo plane and need to redesign the wing a bit. My best option to increase lift overall would probably be increase wing surface area and velocity, even if drag increases as well? Also, do you know what it is called when things like air and water don't scale?
