Discussion
Assertion (A): The Comet investigation reshaped how transport fuselages are certified.
Reason (R): It established that repeated pressurisation could crack a structure comfortably strong statically.
Select the correct answer from the options below.
Answer: A
Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism. The Comet fuselages failed from cracks that started at cut-outs and grew under repeated cabin pressurisation, in a structure that was entirely adequate under static test. The investigation established pressurisation fatigue as a first-order design case and led directly to full-scale fatigue testing of transport fuselages.
