Assertion (A): A rounded leading edge is acceptable on a wing swept well behind the Mach cone.

Reason (R): The velocity component normal to such an edge is subsonic.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

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

Answer: B

Both statements are true and the second is the reason for the first. With a subsonic normal component the edge behaves as it would in subsonic flow, developing leading-edge suction without forcing a detached bow shock. Ahead of the cone the edge must be sharp instead.
