← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a fly-by-wire system experiences EMI?
A)Spurious control surface deflections✓
B)Fuel pump cavitation increases rapidly
C)Data logger reports are corrupted
D)Engine exhaust temperature decreases rapidly
💡 Explanation
EMI can induce currents in wiring, thus disrupting signals interpreted by the flight controller. The **spurious signal transduction** then deflects control surfaces because the electromagnetic interference overwhelms the intended electronic commands, rather than altering unrelated systems.
