Lift of a Wing

How much lift does 1 square foot of semi-semetric airfoil produce?

    Assume that AoA is always level in this case.

    I have an idea on how to test this, but I’m not sure if it’s accurate. If you want you can probably test this yourself since I probably don’t have the time. Just make a plane and keep adding weight until it stalls at 100 mph at 10 feet above the ground. The wing loading will be your max lift (I think). Sorry that I couldn’t test this myself though.

    It also changes depending on AoA.

    At what speed and altitude? The amount of lift generated can change based on these two things. Also, the normal wings in the game will probably fold and break before reaching these limits.
