That would add about 12sq. ft. but I do not picture that as to be
included as wing area. I believed that wing area was that portion of the
aircraft that had an airfoil. If my number would be accurate then wing
loading numbers would increase.
Some how I don't feel like I can be right after all the 78 to 80
sq. ft. number has been used for 30 years.
