Question

In order to improve vulnerability consideration, we can use _________

(a) redundant components

(b) high lift device

(c) vortex generator

(d) we cannot improve it

I got this question in a national level competition.

I want to ask this question from Configuration Layout in portion Configuration Layout Considerations of Aircraft Design

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) redundant components

To elaborate: Redundant components in simple words are additional components which can be used at the time of emergencies or failure of the component. For example, redundant of hydraulic system, electric system, etc. can improve survivability. Hence, by using redundant component we can improve the vulnerability of our design.
