Discussion

The wing box, the closed cell formed by the spars and the upper and lower skins, principally carries

  • A.Only torsion
  • B.Only the fuel pressure
  • C.Both bending and torsion
  • D.Only bending

Answer: C

Closing the section between front and rear spars produces a torsion box of very high stiffness, and the same members act as the flanges and webs of a bending beam. That one structure carries both actions is why it dominates wing design, and it usually contains the fuel as well.
