An airplane wing configuration includes a first wing positioned above and forward of a second wing on an airplane fuselage. The first wing is operable to direct airflow over an upper surface of the second wing, whereby the first and second wings are capable of generating greater lift than a sum of their individual lifts. The first wing may include an adjustable wing flap that redirects airflow over the upper surface of the second wing, and the second wing may include a rotatable portion that pivots to vary the angle of attack of the second wing independent of the first wing.
