Which of these does NOT increase with fuselage length at constant diameter?

  • A.Structural bending span
  • B.Fineness ratio
  • C.Cabin cross-sectional area
  • D.Wetted area

Answer: C

Correct answer: Cabin cross-sectional area

Cross-sectional area is a property of the diameter, which the question holds constant, so lengthening changes it not at all.

The other three all grow: wetted area in proportion to length, fineness ratio by definition since it is length over diameter, and the structural bending span as the tail loads act through a longer arm. That is the reason a stretch is limited - three penalties grow and only the capacity grows with them.
