Airplane wings have green and red lights for a few reasons.

The green light is typically located on the right wing and the red light on the left wing. These lights are used for navigation and identification.


The green light is used to indicate the right side of the aircraft, and the red light indicates the left side.

This helps other pilots and air traffic controllers identify the direction of the aircraft and its position in relation to other aircraft in the area.


Additionally, the lights can be used as signals for takeoff and landing. During takeoff, the green light is turned on first and the red light is turned on last.

During landing, the red light is turned on first and the green light is turned on last. This helps other pilots and air traffic controllers to know whether an aircraft is taking off or landing.

-It's also worth noting that these lights are also used for signaling to other aircrafts in certain situations. For example, if an aircraft experiences an emergency, it will turn on both its green and red lights to signal to other aircraft that it is in distress.

These lights are navigational safety features in aviation that is an inherent unforgiving world especially when it comes to disaster avoidance and prevention.

So you should be better educated when you see these lights on an aircraft especially when flying @ night.

You will be good at posting educative stuff like this, not shouting Tinubu is a drug Lord from morning to night without a single evidence.
