← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a fixed-wing aircraft's servo tabs jam?
A)Aerodynamic flutter of control surfaces✓
B)Compressibility stall at local airspeeds
C)Loss of lift due to flow separation
D)Fuel tank rupture via inertial loading
💡 Explanation
Aerodynamic flutter increases because uncommanded oscillations excite the control surface, via aeroelastic coupling, leading to self-excited vibrations; therefore the potential for catastrophic failure grows, rather than merely stalling or fuel tank rupture under normal operational stresses.
