Posture, Locomotion, and Paleoecology of Pterosaurs
Nevertheless, aspect ratio and wing area or wing loading (Mg/S) are important
parameters in other respects. For instance the minimum drag-to-lift ratio and
minimum slope in gliding flight are inversely proportional to AR*2. Seabirds with
long ...

The Biomechanics of Insect Flight: Form, Function, Evolution
Wing loading is therefore generally higher in insects of greater body mass, with
consequent implications for wing aerodynamic pressures and airspeeds during
flight (section 3.1.1). Also, insects of equivalent body mass can vary dramatically
in ...

Synthesis of Subsonic Airplane Design: An Introduction to ...
7.2.2. Wing loading limits and structural aspects Referring back to the example in
Fig. 7-2 and to (7-15) through (7-17) , we can make the following observations: 1.
High-speed aircraft have a high optimum wing loading due to the high dynamic ...
wings and relatively low weight, i.e. with low wing-loading, find it easy to take off
and can manoeuvre efficiently at low speeds. At higher flight speed, however, big
wings result in considerable air resistance. For many passerines and ...

Birds in Flight: The Art and Science of How Birds Fly
The Art and Science of How Birds Fly Carrol L. Henderson. Wing Loading Wing
loading is the ratio of the bird's weight to the wing surface area. It measures how
much wing area is available to provide the lift necessary to support a bird's
weight ...
Carrol L. Henderson, 2008
W/S^ (3.8.3) Notice that all three of the airspeeds above are proportional to the
square root of the wing loading divided by the air density. These airspeeds also
depend on the parasitic drag coefficient, the Oswald efficiency, the aspect ratio, ...
Further, litter mass in megachiropterans scaled with wing loading, as expected by
geometric similarity, whereas microchiropterans exhibited negative allometry.
Thus, mi- crochiropteran bats with high wing loading tend to have litters with ...

How to Build and Fly Electric Model Aircraft
WING LOADING Aircraft engineers and model aircraft enthusiasts refer to the
amount of wing surface area compared with the weight of the aircraft as wing
loading. The motor must have enough power to be able to carry or lift the wing
loading.

Marine Ecological Processes: A derivative of the ...
In contrast to gliders, seabirds that use flapping flight, such as Larids, have an
inverse relationship between wing loading and migration distance (Figure 1).
This is undoubtedly related to the lower flight efficiency of flapping species with
higher ...

Introduction to Aircraft Design
Figure 4.1 shows a plot of combat wing loading against thrust/weight ratio, which
is a good indication of the manoeuvrability of combat aircraft (see Chapter 3 for
the definition of thrust/weight and wing loading). Recent requirements for high ...

wing loading is used in the context of the following news items.
Perfect wingovers by Raul Rodriguez
Weightshift, harness position, brake action, wing loading and glider size are all important. The higher the wing loading, the easier it is to make steep wingovers. «Cross Country magazine, Nov 10»
