Which consequence results when excessive air ingression occurs within the control lines of a jet engine's hydraulic thrust vectoring actuator?

💡 Explanation

Uncommanded changes arise because air compressibility within the hydraulic fluid enables uncontrolled actuator movement due to servo valve instability, a form of pneumatic lock arising from poor bulk modulus; therefore, thrust misdirection occurs, rather than thermal increases or chemical effects directly.
