Assertion (A): Wing ribs are more closely spaced towards the root.

Reason (R): Bending moment and skin compressive stress are highest near the root.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.A is false but R is true

Answer: A

Both statements are true and the second is the reason for the first. A higher compressive stress demands a shorter panel to avoid buckling, so the rib pitch follows the stress distribution rather than the geometry of the aerofoil.
