Summary Of: Wing loading

Wing loading is a useful measure of the general maneuvering performance of an aircraft... an aircraft with lower wing loading will be able to take off and land at a lower speed... Wing loading has an effect on an aircraft... this has the effect of increasing the wing loading and also the... aircraft with a low wing loading are often subject to a rough... A further complication with wing loading is that it is difficult to substantially alter the wing area of an existing aircraft... An aircraft whose wing loading is moderate in its original design may end up with very heavy wing loading as... on turning and takeoff performance resulting from higher wing loading are not so easily reconciled... thus improving wing loading while maintaining high performance... decreasing the wing loading which allows slower landing approach speeds...
