To add to Jetflyers post: For that reason the wings are actually mounted in an angle upwards in reference to the fuselage (if you are
looking at the wing profile in a whole) so when your wings just have the right angle of attack for maximum lift vs. airspeed your fuselage
will be pointing even more 't'wards the stars'
Some aircraft - especially some designed for STOL operations - will have this 'feature' even more pronounced.
