Airplane Flight: X-Plane in the Classroom

Slide 3

Wing Loading Ratio of the planes weight (w) divided by the surface area of the wing (s)

Slide 4

Wing Loading Ratio of the planes 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)

Slide 5

Wing Loading Ratio of the planes 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)

Slide 6

Wing Loading Ratio of the planes 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

Slide 7

Wing Loading Ratio of the planes 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
