Do a self test.

Get a conveyor belt start running on it and jump forward like you are doing a distanced long jump. You will NOT jump as far as if you were running on solid ground and leaped from the same spot.

It is basic physics folks. You need forward momentum in order to gain any air resistance over the wings.
