← TechnologyWhich consequence results when excessive servo flutter develops in an aircraft's electromechanical flight controls at high speed?
A)Reduced stall angle of attack
B)Reversal of control surface effectiveness✓
C)Increased engine fuel consumption
D)Elevated cabin pressure oscillations
💡 Explanation
Control reversal occurs because servo flutter excites structural modes beyond the servo's bandwidth, leading to an inverse aerodynamic response rather than intended deflection; therefore, pilots lose correct axis control, rather than other aerodynamic or engine effects.
