← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a UAV’s collective pitch malfunctions during descent?
A)Loss of lift and stall✓
B)Engine overspeed and damage
C)Excessive fuel consumption
D)Uncontrolled yaw oscillations
💡 Explanation
Loss of lift and a stall occurs because the collective pitch, designed to control blade angle, fails, impacting lift via **rotor blade angle of attack changes**; therefore, lift is insufficient to prevent stall near descent, rather than causing overspeed, fuel issues, or yaw.
