Default RE: Wing Area???

When you calculate wing area, it is wing tip to wing tip.
The fuselage is counted in the calculation.
While this may not be what we want to hear, this is how Wing area is calculated.
I have measured a couple of planes and that is the only way that the published wing area could be derived.
Don't believe us, grab a plane and do it yourself.
