← ScienceWhich risk increases when a commercial airliner exceeds critical buffeting speed?
A)Uncontrolled stall condition develops rapidly✓
B)Fuel consumption decreases substantially
C)Lift-to-drag ratio achieves maximum value
D)Engine thrust asymmetry dynamically stabilizes
💡 Explanation
Exceeding buffeting speed exposes the wing to severe turbulence; because the unsteady pressure gradients of airflow separation induce large, rapid control surface oscillations. This aeroelastic flutter phenomenon may cause a stall. Therefore, stall risk increases, rather than increased fuel efficiency, stabilized thrust, or maximized L/D.
