Technology

Which limitation arises because a transonic jet's angle-of-attack increases during a missed approach procedure?

A)Elevator effectiveness is sharply reduced
B)Maximum thrust becomes marginally inadequate
C)Rudder authority becomes disproportionately limited
D)Flap effectiveness sees commensurate reduction

💡 Explanation

Elevator effectiveness reduces because **shock-induced separation** occurs on the tailplane at higher angles-of-attack, thereby limiting control. This rather than reduced thrust, makes recovery difficult; thrust would be the limiting factor given a separate aerodynamic issue.
