Assertion (A): Honeycomb sandwich is used for floors and control surfaces but not for wing spar caps.

Reason (R): Sandwich construction is efficient where bending stiffness governs rather than direct load.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

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

Answer: C

Both statements are true and the second explains the first. A spar cap carries a large concentrated axial load, for which a solid section is right, whereas a floor panel or an elevator skin needs stiffness over an area at minimum weight, which is exactly what sandwich provides.
