Assertion (A): Tear straps are fitted to a pressurised fuselage skin.

Reason (R): They arrest a running crack so that decompression is controlled rather than catastrophic.

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 are true and the second is the reason for the first. Without them a crack driven by hoop stress can run many frames in an instant. With them the damage is confined to a bay, which is the practical expression of damage tolerance.
