Forward Velocity created lift on a well designed wing in any atmosphere Remember the American U2 spy plane? It flew at 65.000 feet, well beyond any weapons range Except a lucky missile shot Apparently still secretly used

Quite well, I would imagine, but with such a small wingspan, we're not talking about a very large payload.

You start with the basic lift formula, and go from there. https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airpla... https://www.ajdesigner.com/phpwinglift/w...

Another parameter is the weight of the glider, if it is lightweight enough it does not need a large wingspan. Ever make a paper airplane? They glide with a very small wingspan. Remember too, the surface gravity on Mars is lower than here.
