Discussion
Assertion (A): The fuselage of a transonic aircraft is often waisted where the wing joins it.
Reason (R): Transonic wave drag depends on the distribution of total cross-sectional area along the aircraft.
Select the correct answer from the options below.
Answer: A
Both are true and the second explains the first. The wing adds area over its own length, so narrowing the fuselage there keeps the total distribution smooth. The F-102 could not exceed Mach one until this was done, and could comfortably afterwards.
