What isyour generally understood definition of wing loading?
Is it the aircraft weight related to the lifting surface available?
That is my understanding.
If so --does the wingloading change with shifts in CG? (not effective wingloading -actual wingloading)
Not a trick question -
this is all relative to a powered craft in a steady speed ,constant altitude condition
The definition I read stated that "wingloading increases if cg shifts forward "
I see the drag from the increased tailplane trim, increasing the POWER requirement to hold original speed /altitude and the possible need for an increase in AOA to reestablish the SAME steady speed and altitude .this would be an increase in lift equal to the increased trim drag load
Am I just straining at semantics?
