Which of the following is NOT a valid reason for adopting a double-bubble fuselage section?

  • A.It widens the cabin without a very deep section
  • B.Each lobe still carries pressure in membrane tension
  • C.The floor beam ties the two lobes together
  • D.It lowers the pressure differential the shell must carry

Answer: D

Correct answer: It lowers the pressure differential the shell must carry

The differential is set by the cabin altitude and the cruise altitude, and no choice of section changes it. A double-bubble carries exactly the same differential as a circle would.

The other three are the real reasons for adopting it: a wider cabin without a very deep section, each lobe still working in membrane tension rather than bending, and the floor beam tying the lobes together to carry the outward pull where they meet.
