Assertion (A): Folding wingtips have appeared on recent transport aircraft.

Reason (R): Induced drag rewards span, but airport gate boxes constrain it.

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 is the reason for the first. The mechanism, its weight and its certification burden are accepted because the aerodynamic gain from the extra span outweighs them over the aircraft's life.
