Which 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.
