[NSRCA-discussion] Formula for figuring wing loading?

[Fred Huber]

Weight over area.

If it weighs 10 lbs and has 2 sq ft of wing thats 5 lbs/sq ft.  which is also 160 oz (16 oz/lb) over 288 sq inches (144 sq in / sq ft) for 0.5555555.... oz/in^2

the only complicated part is converting from oz to lb to kg... and ft to in to dm^2

List your starting point and the form you want the results in and there's a conversion formula, but I always go back to the conversion of the units.
