← TechnologyWhich aerodynamic outcome occurs when an aircraft’s flaps are deployed mid-flight at excessive airspeeds.?
A)Flap flutter and potential failure✓
B)Increased stall angle and stability
C)Reduced induced drag and efficiency
D)Enhanced aileron effectiveness
💡 Explanation
Flap flutter can occur because the aerodynamic forces exceed the structural damping capacity, causing oscillations; therefore, failure is possible, rather than increased stability, because flutter induces instability at higher speeds.
