I assume the weight/span**2 limit was chosen to force long wings even at
lighter weights, without requiring unreasonably long wings at the maximum
weight limit.


1,874 lbs MTOW
(0.62) Maximum SPAN LOADING (weight to wing span squared)


(#1)
50 ft wings (**2) = 2,500
1,874 lbs MTOW ÷ 2,500 = 0.7496 ....(NO)

(#2)
55 ft wings (**2) = 3,025
1,874 lbs MTOW ÷ 3,025 = 0.6195 ....(YES)

(#3)
40 ft wings (**2) = 1,600
1,000 lbs MTOW ÷ 1,600 = 0.625 .....(SURE)
[Easy to remember numbers]

(#5)
30 ft wings (**2) = 900
550 lbs MTOW ÷ 900 = 0.6111 .......(YES)

(#6)
30 ft wings (**2) = 900
600 lbs MTOW ÷ 900 = 0.666 .........(NO)


550 lb (MTOW) with 30 ft wing span:
............................................
300 lb (plane)
200 lb (pilot and gear)
050 lb (Fuel @ 8 gal)
