Which of these is NOT a reason a strut-braced wing is attractive?
Answer: C
Correct answer: It eliminates the wing’s bending moment entirely
A strut does not eliminate the bending moment; it provides an intermediate support that greatly reduces the root bending moment, which is a different and more modest claim. The genuine attractions are the other three: for a given structural weight the wing can be given a much higher aspect ratio, the greater span cuts induced drag, and the combination offers a route to significantly lower fuel burn - at the cost of the strut’s own interference drag and its junction design.
