For the same fuselage, the longitudinal stress from pressurisation is

  • A.137.5 MPa
  • B.17.2 MPa
  • C.34.4 MPa
  • D.68.8 MPa

Answer: C

The longitudinal stress is \( pr/2t \), exactly half the hoop value, so \( 68.8/2 = 34.4 \) MPa. That the hoop stress is twice the longitudinal is why pressurisation cracks in a fuselage skin characteristically run along the fuselage rather than around it.
