Extract

In general, the designer of an aeroplane has fixed for him the engine, the useful load, the strength factors, and the landing speed.

A weight estimate is prepared, in the process of which it would appear that the power loading, and the wing loading for the chosen section, fix themselves automatically; in practice, as we all know, the designer has a certain scope for variation of these, in addition to the choice of wing section.
