Which outcome occurs when a hydraulic actuator driving an aircraft's flight control surface experiences excessively high-frequency command signals?

💡 Explanation

Control surface oscillation amplification occurs due to hydraulic resonance; excessive frequency input excites the actuator's natural frequencies leading to amplified output, because the servovalve cannot accurately track, therefore the control surfaces vibrate, rather than smoothly respond.
