← TechnologyWhich outcome increases during hydroplaning when aircraft landing gear experiences shimmy?
A)Reduced tire-ground contact✓
B)Improved braking effectiveness
C)Increased directional stability
D)Enhanced suspension damping
💡 Explanation
Reduced tire-ground contact increases because intense wheel oscillations during shimmy compromise water displacement. Therefore, hydroplaning risk escalates, rather than offering the benefits of better braking offered by increased friction in stable conditions.
