Default Conversion Calculator Program

Does anybody have a link to a Metric-English and English-Metric calculator program for figuring wing area, etc.?
Thanks,
Steve

Google for "online area conversion" and you'll get a wide number of options.

This one is very easy to use:

It is downloadable and compatible with many operating systems.

Google search engine works as a converter. For example, type 1 sq ft = and hit search and it will give an answer, though a bit limited in functionality.

Thanks to everybody for responding....I've found that the joshmadison.com converter is perfect for my intended usage. Anybody looking for planes advertised by foreign manufacturers and importers has come across the situation where the wingspan, fuselage length and WING AREA are all listed in metric.

The joshmadison.cm converter makes it easy to convert these to terms with which we are more familiar.

Try it, you'll like it.
