Wing loading?

How do you figure out the wing loading of a plane if you know the weight and wing area?

RE: Wing loading?

wing_loading = weight/wing_area

That will be in whatever units you use for weight and area in that calculation (lbs/ft^2, oz/in^2, etc.)

Send me a PM and I can send you an Excel spreadsheet that calculates the wing loading and wing cube loading
