Wing area is the total surface space of an aircraft’s wing, a crucial parameter influencing aerodynamic performance. It takes into account the varying chord lengths from the wing root to the tip, as well as the wingspan. The trapezoidal shape offers a versatile design for aircraft wings, balancing lift and structural considerations. The formula to calculate Wing area as follows:
Where:
- Croot is the Root chord in m
- b is the wing span in m
- λ is the Wing Taper ratio
