The aspect ratio is increased. Induced drag = (lift-coefficient)
squared/pie (aspect ratio), this will make it clinb faster but it may
reduce the top speed slightly because the lift coefficient will be low
under those conditions. PS the aspect ratio is (span)squared/area, you
have increased the span, this is good.
