And what are the sizes of these wings and tails in cm2?
Google "square inches to square centimeters" and the converter will pop up. Then enter in the Lift wing size. Per the converter, the 200 wing is approximately 1290 cm2.
Sorry, but no, my point was, area is, in lack of a better parameter, the best indication of size we got.
And you say it is square inch for Lift foils?
That was my whole point - nobody knows, except maybe those riding these foils.
Or if you waste a hell'uva time googling...
Instead, I can only advice to write the area, or simply the unit behind if the name IS the area - then there is no doubt.
It would be a very nice gesture to other readers
A 40 stab can be a stab 40 cm in span, area unknown, but apparently it is a 40 square inch for the Lift tails, meaning area is 258 cm2 and span/AR not given by this number.
Say a Moses 633, it is NOT 633 square inch, nor square cm, but it is the span in mm.
For tail wings it can be confusing, as it can be the span in cm or the area in square inch - and for these the profile doesnt mean much, so area and to a lesser extent AR, means everything here.
