Luggage Carrier

You can actually calculate it, but you need to know the airfoil section and
it's coefficient of lift (or downforce in this case)

The formula is then L=CL(1/2 R)V2 S, where CL is Coefficient of Lift, R is
Air Density in slugs per cubic ft, V2 is the speed squared and S is the size
of the wing in square feet. (Sorry I did my ATPL back when aeroplanes were
measured in feet and inches). Where you would find the required information
I have no idea, so this probably is of academic interest only.
