Assertion (A): Fuel is retained in the outboard tanks for as long as practicable on many transports.

Reason (R): Mass carried outboard opposes the lift and reduces the root bending moment.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • B.A is true but R is false
  • C.A is false but R is true
  • D.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer: D

Both are true and the second explains the first. Inertia relief is worth a real reduction in structural weight, so the fuel management schedule is written with the wing bending in mind as much as the centre of gravity.
