A double-bubble fuselage section consists of

  • A.Two entirely separate pressure vessels
  • B.Two circular arcs tied at the floor
  • C.An elliptical shell
  • D.A rectangular cabin with rounded corners

Answer: B

Correct answer: Two circular arcs tied at the floor

A double-bubble section is two circular arcs of different radii meeting at the floor, with the floor beams acting as a tie to carry the outward pull where the arcs join.

The arrangement keeps each arc in membrane tension, so pressure is carried without bending, while giving a taller section than a single circle of the same width - useful where a hold must sit under a wide cabin. It is one pressure vessel, not two, and the floor tie is what makes it work.
