The nose shape of a transport fuselage is set mainly by

  • A.The cabin seat count
  • B.The undercarriage position
  • C.Cockpit view angles and radar
  • D.The need to minimise wetted area

Answer: C

Correct answer: Cockpit view angles and radar

Two requirements shape the nose. The crew must see the required angles down and to the sides for approach and taxiing, which fixes the windscreen geometry and the profile ahead of it.

And the weather radar needs an unobstructed radome of adequate diameter and a shape transparent to it. Aerodynamics refines the result rather than driving it, and the cabin, undercarriage and wetted area are all settled elsewhere.
