Default RE: Wing Loading

Typically, wing loading is in ounces per square foot.

To get this you usually need to convert lbs to oz. Multiply the weight in lbs by 16 and you get oz.

To get square feet you usually need to convert from sq inches - so divide the sq inches by 144.

To do it quickly use this formula: 2304 x (plane weight in lbs) / (wing area in sq inches)
