Technology

Which outcome occurs when de-icing fluid excessively accumulates on an aircraft's control surfaces during pre-flight procedures?

A)Reduced aerodynamic control effectiveness
B)Increased composite material strength
C)Enhanced radar cross-section signature
D)Diminished fuel consumption efficiency

💡 Explanation

Reduced aileron deflection efficiency occurs because the added mass and altered airfoil shape changes angle of attack via fluid dynamic EFFECT. This increased surface tension resists smooth airflow; therefore, control is diminished, rather than aerodynamically improved or having other unrelated effects.
