Standard Calculation for wing angle, speed, air pressure
Is there a clean formula for finding things out such as how much a piece of paper lifts at a 20 degree angle going 5 miles per hour at sea level?

the lift equation
Lift = area * Cl * V^2 * density / 2,
area = square meters
lift = Newtons
V = meters/s
density = 1.225 at sea level
The lift coefficient is theoretically,
2 * pi / rad, or 0.11 / deg
That won't do any stall prediction or anything though.
