To illustrate, assuming a smallish airliner with about 1000sqft of area (wings, fuselage, everything) and as takeoff mass in the 30 tone range.
That sounds way out.

A 35-tonne CRJ7, for example, has around 1,500 sq ft of wing surface area alone, then add to that the remainder of the fuselage, empennage, etc.
