Assertion (A): Fillets are fitted at wing-body and tail junctions on almost every aircraft.

Reason (R): Corner flows accumulate low-momentum fluid from two surfaces where the pressure is already rising.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

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

Answer: D

Both are true and the second explains the first. Without a fillet the corner separates early and produces a disproportionate amount of interference drag, and often buffet as well. Easing the corner geometry is a cheap and standard cure.
