Which consequence is most likely when an aircraft flap actuator freezes mid-flight?

💡 Explanation

An actuator failure leading to an asymmetric flap deployment results in unequal lift distribution across the wing due to differential air pressure; surface area changing the coefficient of aerodynamic lift. Therefore, asymmetric lift and a roll moment occur, rather than a symmetric increase in lift because only one flap would extend.
