Spanwise load distribution clarification

Jane-DoH

I'm not sure what you are meaning. Dividing weight by span yields an average lift over the span, but does not address the question of how the lift (or load) is distributed over the span. To fully understand the spanwise loading, the loading at each point along the span must be known.
