A wing box \( 0.4 \) m deep carries a bending moment of \( 900 \) kN m. Treating the caps as the only flanges, the force in each cap is about
Answer: D
Idealising the box as two flanges separated by the depth, the couple gives \( M/h = 900\,000/0.4 = 2250 \) kN, one cap in tension and the other in compression. The approximation ignores the skins' own contribution and so overstates the cap load, which makes it a conservative first estimate.
