Phil, use area to get the area conversion... centimeters2 to inches or
foot 2
that give you area in our system.
81.7 dm2 = 8170cm2 = 8.79ft2
Then convert the wing loading using mass.
36.7 G = 1.29 or 1.3 oz
Now to convert the 1.3 from dm to foot squared
use convert to convert area 100 centimeters 2 = 0.107 foot 2
to get 1 sqft you would multiply by 10
so the 1.3 becomes 1.3*10 = 13 oz/ft2 pretty damn high wing loading.
What I like about doing it seperate is that I now know what the area of
the wing is in our system and what th
At soaringusa.com, the ThermicXL is listed with 81.7 dm squares and
36.7 grams/ dm square.
Can someone tell me what that would be in square feet . Eventually i
want to figure the wing loading at different all up weights .
Thanks in advance, Richard

I really like this one:
http://joshmadison.net/software/convert/
That's the same one that Dan Kitching recommended. Can anybody tell me
how you use that to convert g/dm^2 to oz/ft^2? I guess you need to use
the "custom" feature but clicking on "custom" gets a blank window with
no instructions and no apparent way to type anything into the window.
