← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a commercial airliner encounters sudden, localized turbulence during flight?
A)Aircraft icing beyond de-icing capacity
B)Uncommanded elevator control surface reversal✓
C)Compromised structural integrity of nacelles
D)Erroneous fuel quantity indication
💡 Explanation
The risk of elevator control reversal heightens because aeroservoelastic flutter—an interaction between aerodynamic forces, structural elasticity, and control system dynamics—can exceed the system's stable operating range in unsteady flows; therefore, flutter occurs rather than stable dampening of oscillations because of induced vibrations.
