← TechnologyWhich unstable outcome can materialize during transonic flight due to uncoordinated aileron inputs?
A)Aileron reversal and flutter✓
B)Increased stall angle recovery
C)Improved lateral damping rates
D)Reduced center of pressure shift
💡 Explanation
Aileron reversal occurs because, at transonic speeds, exceeding critical Mach number creates shockwaves; this changes pressure distribution; therefore, the aileron input causes the wing to twist downward, rather than upward, and oscillation can happen causing the system to be unstable.
