I see this thing posted on the spec's of most planes call wing loading followed by a formula like 35g/dm2 in the case of the Diamond 2500. What does that mean? Another thing, what the blazes is wing loading and what does that have to do with the flight characteristics of a plane?
What the heck, as long as I am here I might as well ask another question regarding wings. It is posted that the wing area is 55 dm2. Please explain that and what does wing area have to do with the flight characteristics?
I am sure that the wing loading and wing area are important information. I would like to be able to figure them out and have an idea what all that means so I can make a more informed decision when making my next purchase.
