Which consequence results downstream when the Reynolds number increases significantly in an aircraft's hydraulic servo?

A)Increased laminar flow stability margins
B)Elevated potential for control surface flutter
C)Decreased pump efficiency requirements always
D)Diminished overall system contamination sensitivity

💡 Explanation

Elevated Reynolds number indicates a transition to turbulent flow. Turbulent flow introduces energy dissipation via increased frictional losses due to viscous effects; therefore, flutter risk increases because the servo response oscillates, rather than providing stable control related to design.
