All of the following are functions of a wing rib EXCEPT

  • A.Shortening the skin panels against buckling
  • B.Passing the air load into the spars
  • C.Carrying the spanwise bending moment
  • D.Maintaining the aerofoil section

Answer: C

Correct answer: Carrying the spanwise bending moment

The bending moment runs along the span and is carried by the spars and skin; the rib lies across it. What the rib does is hold the section, shorten the skin panels against buckling, and collect the air load from the skin and pass it into the spars - the three functions the other options describe.
