Default RE: Wing loading.
When figuring wing area you figure all the area. Even theoretical area.(Which is the area in the fuse) For example on the B-58 wing the area is 2868.51 / 144= 19.92 sq ft. If the plane weighs 55# x 16oz = 880oz / 19.92 sq ft = 44.17 oz wing loading. Hope I didn't confuse you with this. 64oz wing loading is fairly light on a jet.Butch
