FRANGIBLE..... word for today from google. Does it apply to you?

Answer 1

Although I don't feel particularly frangible today, here's a use of the word "frangible" . . .

The Gazelle Helicopter (AS341), in service with the British Army (but not for long) is fitted with a "Frangible Fairing."

Take a look at the picture at this address:

The frangible fairing is the grey bit underneath the tail rotor (which is actually a fenestron, but that doesn't matter!). It is designed to absorb some of the impact if the pilot messes up his landing and strikes the tail of the aircraft on the ground. Most helicopters are fitted with some sort of tail rotor protection like this - more commonly it's metal "hockey stick" which does the same job.

If someone does strike the frangible fairing on the ground, we say they have "franged" (pron. franj'd) the aircraft!

Answer 2

It cannot apply to a human being. Frangible means something that breaks up when handled, such as fresh bread. Sorry, but it doesn't apply.

Frangible also means fragile, can be broken
No, doesnt apply.
