Assertion (A): Fuse pins must be strong enough to carry every normal flight and ground load.
Reason (R): They are intended to fail only under a severe overload, allowing the engine to separate cleanly.
Select the correct answer from the options below.
Answer: A
Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
Both statements are true and the second explains the first. A fuse pin is ordinary structure until the moment it is not: it must carry every flight and ground load, including manoeuvre, gust, landing impact and thrust, with full fatigue life and no intended movement.
Its weakness is calibrated to lie above all of those and below the load that would fail the wing, so it shears only in a severe overload - a seizure, a fan blade loss, an impact - letting the engine depart before the wing box is torn open.
