Wing Loading

Introduction to Wing Loading Calculator

Wing loading is a measure of the weight supported by a given area of a wing. The formula, WL = weight / wingArea, calculates the wing loading where WL represents the wing loading, weight is the aircraft's weight, and wingArea is the total area of the wings. The resulting unit of measurement depends on the provided weight and wing area (e.g., pounds per square foot).

Parameter usage:

• weight= aircraft weight
• wingArea= total area of the wings

Output:

• WL= wing loading

Data validation

The weight and wing area should be greater than zero.

Summary

This calculator helps determine the wing loading of an aircraft, an important factor in aviation design and performance assessments.
