Default RE: Wing Loading

The shape (planform) of a wing has absolutely no bearing on wing loading.

It is a function of only airplane weight versus wing area.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Funny story.

Our local hobby dealer said that a modeler came in to the shop to tell how he reduced the weight of his heavy plane.

He cut 6" off each wing tip!
