Consider an aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of 1284 kg, a wingspan of 6.3 m, and a wing area of 27 m2. What is its calculated wing loading?

  • A

    0.8 kg per square metre

  • B

    47.5 kg per square metre

  • C

    52 kg per square metre

  • D

    203.8 kg per square metre

Wing loading is denoted by W ÷ S.
It describes how much weight is districuted per unit of wing area (how much lift must be produced).

Given:

  • MTOW = 1284 kg
  • Wing area = 27 m2

Wing Loading = 1284 kg ÷ 27 m2 = 47.55 kg/m2
