Which outcome occurs when airflow matches wing's natural frequency?

A)Aeroelastic flutter leads to instability
B)Increased lift due to Bernoulli effect
C)Turbulent airflow creates higher downforce
D)Boundary layer remains fully laminar

💡 Explanation

Aeroelastic flutter causes divergence because positive feedback amplifies small disturbances when the structure's modal frequency and airflow frequency align. Therefore, wings become unstable, rather than experiencing improved lift or other aerodynamic benefits.
