A safe-life structure differs from a fail-safe one in that it is

  • A.Never inspected in service
  • B.Made only from composite materials
  • C.Retired at a set life regardless
  • D.Designed with multiple redundant load paths

Answer: C

Safe-life design establishes a life by test and analysis and removes the part at that point, with no reliance on finding damage in service. It is used where redundancy is impractical, notably in landing gear and rotorcraft components, and it is inherently conservative.
