Assertion (A): Swept wings tend to stall at the tip before the root.

Reason (R): Sweep drives boundary-layer fluid outboard along the span.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

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

Answer: C

Both statements are true and the second is the reason for the first. The thickened, low-energy layer that collects near the tip separates early, costing maximum lift and, worse, aileron authority. Fences, vortilons, washout and leading-edge devices all exist to fight this tendency.
