The factor of safety applied between limit and ultimate load in civil aircraft design is normally

  • A.3.0
  • B.1.5
  • C.1.0
  • D.2.0

Answer: B

Civil requirements use an ultimate factor of 1.5 on limit load, and the structure must carry ultimate load for three seconds without failure. The figure is small compared with civil engineering practice because weight matters so much and the loads are known far more precisely.
