Wing Loading Calculator

Wing loading is the ratio of mass to wing area. It helps explain glide, wind penetration and handling.

Model mass

Mass of the flight-ready model.Wing area

Wing projection. If unsure, use span × mean chord.

ƒWL = mass / area · 1 g/dm² ≈ 0.328 oz/ft²

Wing loading

23.3 g/dm²

7.65 oz/ft²

Interpretation

Low. Long glide, but sensitive to wind.
