lets consider that the wing of a plane uses the same mechanism to generate thrust then a propeller or rocket engine, that is accelerate a mass to cause a force in the opposite direction. and lets ignore everything except the wing itself.
DL=2Vf/ (sqrt{M *g / Vf * S} )
Vf=flight velocity
M=mass
g=gravitation acceleration 10m/s2
S= wing span
a 1kg plane with a wing span of 2 meters and 10m/s would have DLmax of around 30
and the same wing with a velocity of 33m/s and 10kg a DLmax of 55
what are your thoughts?

* asume mass of air is 1kg/m3
