Calculation Formula

Wing Area = Chord Length × Thickness Distribution

Where:
Chord Length is the distance from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the wing
Thickness Distribution is the percentage of chord at maximum thickness

Wing Area Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Wing Area Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the chord length of the wing in meters.
  2. Enter the thickness distribution percentage of the wing.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the wing area.
  4. The result will be displayed in square meters.

Working Principle

The wing area is calculated by multiplying the chord length by the thickness distribution percentage. This is a simplified model assuming the wing is rectangular in planform.

Applications

This calculator is useful for aerospace engineers, students, and hobbyists who need to quickly estimate the wing area for small aircraft, drones, or model planes.
