Well, now you mention it....

Yep. Quite right. To get a force (KG*M/S^2) you need an extra M^2 on the right of the equation. I stand corrected.

barit- Absolutely not, that's why I resisted the idea that area should be part of the equation as twice the area does not mean twice the lift.

That being said, I think we hold the record for getting off topic the fastest as

1) He still should have known the difference between addition and multiplication.
2) "Wing span area" still doesn't mean anything, and
3) That was only one of the errors I highlighted, and my list was not exhaustive.
