← HistoryWhich outcome results when a Viking longship sail experiences leech flutter?
A)Center of effort moves aft✓
B)Rudder effectiveness is enhanced
C)Hull speed potential increases
D)Draft requirements are reduced
💡 Explanation
When a sail experiences leech flutter, pressure distribution changes, causing the center of effort to shift aft because of aeroelastic instability. This change reduces maneuverability, rather than increasing rudder effect; therefore, the center of effort shifts aft rather than forward.
