Which risk increases when an aircraft's wing experiences flutter?

💡 Explanation

Flutter is a self-feeding aeroelastic instability where aerodynamic forces couple with structural vibrations, causing damaging and uncontrolled oscillations because of resonance; therefore, the wing could fail, rather than increased drag alone due unstable vibrations. Other effects might secondarily occur.
