How to use it
- Enter aircraft mass in kilograms.
- Enter wing area in square meters.
- Calculate kg/m² and N/m² values.
Wing Loading Calculator
Divide entered aircraft mass or weight force by entered wing area.

About the Wing Loading Calculator
Wing loading is represented here as entered mass or its standard-gravity weight force divided by wing area.
Formula
Mass-based wing loading = mass ÷ wing area. Weight-force loading uses mass × 9.80665 ÷ area.
Example
1,200 kg divided by 16.2 m² gives approximately 74.07 kg/m².
Notes
This ratio does not determine aerodynamic performance or structural suitability and is not aircraft design or certification advice.
