Which outcome occurs when a fighter jet's flight control system incorrectly interprets pilot yaw commands at transonic speeds?

A)Aileron reversal beyond safe limits
B)Dutch roll oscillations increase critically
C)Elevator flutter induces structural failure
D)Rudder lock destabilizes aircraft pitch

💡 Explanation

Dutch roll oscillations increase, because above a certain speed the damping effect lessens. This causes increased lateral-directional instability, leading to coupling motions affecting roll/yaw, therefore the oscillations increase, rather than safe behavior caused when coordinated properly.
