Wing Loading Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Wing Loading.
WL = M / WA
Variables:
- WL is the Wing Loading (kg/m^2)
- M is the body mass (kg)
- WA is the wing area (m^2)
To calculate wing loading, divide the body mass by the wing area.
How to Calculate Wing Loading?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Wing Loading.
- First, determine the body mass (kg).
- Next, determine the wing area (m^2).
- Next, gather the formula from above = WL = M / WA.
- Finally, calculate the Wing Loading.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
body mass (kg) = 30
wing area (m^2) = 10
WL = M / WA = ?
