  1. Wing Loading Airplane Flight: X-Plane in the Classroom

  2. Wing Loading • Wing Loading • Ratio of the plane’s weight (w) divided by the surface area of the wing (s)

  3. Wing Loading • Wing Loading • Ratio of the plane’s weight (w) divided by the surface area of the wing (s) • Surface area of the wing is the wingspan (length) multiplied by the chord (width)

  4. Wing Loading • Wing Loading • Ratio of the plane’s weight (w)divided by the surface area of the wing (s) • Surface area of the wing is the wingspan (length)multiplied by the chord (width)

  5. Wing Loading • Wing Loading • Ratio of the plane’s weight (w) divided by the surface area of the wing (s) or Wing Loading = W/S • Increase Wing Loading when you increase the weight of the plane or decrease the wing area

  6. Wing Loading • Wing Loading • Ratio of the plane’s weight (w) divided by the surface area of the wing (s) or Wing Loading = W/S • Increase Wing Loading when you increase the weight of the plane or decrease the wing area • Decrease Wing Loading when you decrease the weight of the plane or increase the wing area

  7. Wing Loading • Wing Loading • Engineering Tradeoffs • Takeoff and landing distance

  8. Wing Loading • Wing Loading • Engineering Tradeoffs • Takeoff and landing distance • Stall speed

  9. Wing Loading • Wing Loading • Engineering Tradeoffs • Takeoff and landing distance • Stall speed • Flight performance

  10. Wing Loading • Wing Loading • Engineering Tradeoffs • Takeoff and landing distance • Stall speed • Flight performance • Payload
