Overview
Wing loading is the total weight of an aircraft divided by the area of its wings. It affects stall speed, takeoff performance, and maneuverability.

Pro Tips
High wing loading = smoother ride, higher stall speed (jets).
Low wing loading = rougher ride, lower stall speed (gliders).

Fun Facts
"The Space Shuttle had extremely high wing loading during reentry."
"Birds of prey typically have low wing loading for efficient soaring."
Formula: Load = Mass / Area
