(Airframe): Aircraft Structures Questions
and Answers Already Passed
What is the primary purpose of aircraft structural members?
✔✔To support the loads imposed on the aircraft during flight and ground operations.
What type of stress does a wing spar experience during flight?
✔✔A combination of bending and shear stress.
What is the purpose of stringers in an aircraft fuselage?
✔✔To provide additional support and rigidity to the skin of the aircraft.
What is the purpose of a bulkhead in an aircraft?
✔✔Bulkheads divide the fuselage into sections and provide structural integrity to the airframe.
What is the function of the aircraft’s longerons?
✔✔Longerons run longitudinally along the fuselage to carry the primary bending loads.

, What is meant by the term “semi-monocoque” structure?
✔✔A construction method where the skin and internal framework share the load, providing
strength without excessive weight.
Why is corrosion prevention important in aircraft structures?
✔✔Corrosion can weaken the structural integrity of components, leading to potential failure
during flight.
What is the purpose of a wing rib?
✔✔Wing ribs provide the wing with its airfoil shape and support the wing’s structural integrity.
What is the main purpose of aircraft skin?
✔✔To provide a smooth aerodynamic surface and contribute to the structural strength of the
airframe.
How does a truss-type fuselage differ from a monocoque fuselage?
✔✔A truss-type fuselage uses a framework of welded tubes to support loads, while a monocoque
relies on the external skin for structural support.
