Hello Gwen from below. Wing loading is described this way. Let's say at gross weight the plane is 3000 lbs. On this same airplane the square footage of the main wing is 200 square feet. You take the weight of the plane divided by 200 and get a load of 15 lbs per square foot. Airliners can have a load of over 100 lbs per square foot. This makes them more stable in turbulence. There are less likely to be moved around by minor atmospheric bumps, etc.

Really interested to try thia airplane one i finish working on my licence! Ultralights are the future of European GA - economical, affordable and fast.

The first time i saw Shark was at aerofridrishafn 2007.. Amazing to see it make great leaps of development .

With Edge in the mix the power plant will shine! Literally. I have a RX-1 Yamaha in the gyro I built.

The Shark is one beautiful looking aircraft! I can see where they got the name from. And at nearly 200mph it's pretty quick too.
