Area of a wing
Hi fellas is there a formula for figuring the area of a tappered wing ? Also when figuring the loading do I have to take the stab loading into account?

RE: Area of a wing
Yep,
((Root chord + Tip chord) /2) X span=area
Example: (12" root + 8" tip) divided by 2=10" (MAC) X 60" span=600 sq. inches.
On a traditional planform (wing in front, tail in rear) the stab is not normally considered when figuring wing loading.
