← TechnologyWhich 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.
