You cut through the wing once. The cut surface you see is that Wing profile.

So the plane’s flying across?

As a rough rule of thumb it can be said that driven, whether piston engine or turbine, aircraft have a span length ratio of 1:1 and sailplanes one of 2:1
To determine the direction of flight, the longitudinal axis of the fuselage is the reference system.

Ah, I was mentally at the whole plane.

Where, in the case of a few aircraft, the span is the largest extension, so they would also fly transversely…

Cross to the axis of the supporting surface, This is the usual reference direction in a wing because it is the largest extension of the wing.

The wing profile of an aircraft is the shape of the outer edge of a cross section of the wings. It has a very special shape in order to be able to generate buoyancy by air circulation. A support surface profile is usually curved at the top to the outside and slightly curved at the bottom to the inside. Details lead too far here, get close to Google.

This is the flight rig cut through longitudinally.

There are very flat wing profiles, such as the F-104 Starfighter, or high wing profiles, such as in commercial aircraft.

The cross section of the wing. So up there were almost horizontal downstairs.
