Longitudinal (fore and aft) structural members of a semi monocoque fuselage are called?

  1. Frames and Bulkheads

  2. Ribs and Spars

  3. Longerons and Stringers

  4. Struts and Ties

The correct answer is: Longerons and Stringers

Longitudinal structural members of a semi monocoque fuselage are called "longerons and stringers". These are the main components that provide strength and support to the fuselage. Frames and bulkheads (option A) are primarily used in the construction of a rigid monocoque fuselage, while ribs and spars (option B) are used in the design of a cantilever wing. Struts and ties (option D) are commonly used in truss structures and are not typically found in semi monocoque fuselages. Therefore, option C is the only correct answer for this question.
