In aerodynamics, wing loading is the total weight of an aircraft or flying animal divided by the area of its wing. The stalling speed, takeoff speed and...

and wing loading. Aspect ratio is the ratio of wingspan to the mean of its chord (or the square of the wingspan divided by wing area). Wing loading is...

distance from the wrist to the fifth finger. Wing loading is the weight of the bat divided by the wing area and is expressed using the unit N/m2 (newtons...

disk loading or disc loading is the average pressure change across an actuator disk, such as an airscrew. Airscrews with a relatively low disk loading are...

fuselage fuel tanks. Improvements from the A320neo included increased wing loading and structural strengthening, most notably of all a stretched fuselage...

very heavy and had a low rate of fire. It was also specified that the wing loading should be kept below 100 kg/m2. The performance was to be evaluated based...

Look up loading in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Loading may refer to: Carbohydrate loading, a strategy employed by endurance athletes to maximize the...

flight because they generate more lift. Wing loading is the ratio of weight to wing area. Most kinds of bird wing can be grouped into four types, with some...

Nyctosaurus specimens to determine weight and total wing area, and to calculate its total wing loading. They also estimated its total available flight power...

fairly small wing planform with relatively high wing loading. This presents a trade-off in performance. An aircraft with a smaller wing suffers less drag...

a rule of thumb, a wing loading of 25 kg/m2 is considered the limit for avian flight. A number of estimates related to wing loading have been produced...

flown with lower wing loadings per square foot of area, and they glide more slowly. They typically have a lower glide ratio. Wing loading of parachutes is...

planform reduce structural stresses, allowing the wing to be made thin. For minimum drag, wing loading can be in excess of 400 kilograms per square metre...

may adopt the canard configuration to reduce the main wing loading, to better control the main wing airflow, or to increase the aircraft's maneuverability...

anticipating strong thermals often load their gliders (sailplanes) with water ballast: the increased wing loading means optimum glide ratio at greater...

geometry and wing loading of aircraft, water may condense or freeze in the core of the vortices, making the vortices visible. When a wing generates aerodynamic...

wing-loading, remain vulnerable to blood feather damage for a longer period, since they are moulting almost continually. A 'light' symmetrical wing-clip...

permit lighter wing structures, low wing loading and smaller span for a given wing area. However, interference between the airflow over each wing increases...

types of flap increase the wing area in addition to changing the camber. The larger lifting surface reduces wing loading, hence further reducing the...

has a wing loading of 110 lb/sq ft. At normal combat load, however, the wing loading reduces to 45 lb/sq ft. One related advantage of the delta-wing design...

small-winged larger owls and even than some smaller owls. The barred has high wing-loading. Wing-loading is related to hunting technique, with higher wing-loading...

small wing area and resulting high wing loading required a high landing speed of 120 to 135 mph (193 to 217 km/h) indicated airspeed depending on load. At...

Ki-60 was to be a heavily armed specialised interceptor, with a high wing loading; the Ki-61 was to be a more lightly loaded and armed general-purpose...

gliders are a sub-type of the ultralight class, further defined by a wing loading that does not exceed 18 kg/m2 (3.69 lb/ft2).These definitions were adopted...

650 nmi (6,500 mi, 10,460 km) Service ceiling: 42,000 ft (13,000 m) Wing loading: 127.88 lb/sq ft (624.4 kg/m2) Thrust/weight: 0.314 Take-off field length:...

MK9 promised more horsepower. With the larger, more powerful engine, wing loading became an issue. The Navy requested at most 150 kg/m2, but wanted 130 kg/m2...

capability as well. Its delta wing offers high cruise and super-cruise (above Mach 1 without using after-burner), low wing-loading and high maneuverability...

higher wing loading and lift to drag ratios for flying fish compared to a comparably sized bird. Differences in wing area, wing span, wing loading, and...

of a wing is the ratio of its span to its mean chord. It is equal to the square of the wingspan divided by the wing area. Thus, a long, narrow wing has...

5 lb/sq ft) wing loading Rate of sink: 0.6 m/s (120 ft/min) at 90 km/h (49 kn; 56 mph) at 36.5 kg/m2 (7.5 lb/sq ft) wing loading Wing loading: 40 kg/m2...
