How to Evaluate Wetted Area given Aspect Ratio?

Wetted Area given Aspect Ratio evaluator uses Aircraft Wetted Area = Lateral Plane Span^2/Aspect Ratio in Lateral Plane to evaluate the Aircraft Wetted Area, The Wetted Area given Aspect Ratio formula is defined as the wetted area of the aircraft which is proportional to the lateral plane span and inversely proportional to the aspect ratio in the lateral plane. This implies that aircraft with longer wingspans and/or lower aspect ratios in the lateral plane may have larger wetted areas. Aircraft Wetted Area is denoted by Swet symbol.
