← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a jet's slats fail during landing?
A)Increased landing distance required✓
B)Reduced engine thrust response time
C)Decreased fuel consumption at idle
D)Compromised aircraft cabin pressurization
💡 Explanation
Failure of leading-edge slats causes a stall because they normally increase the wing's angle of attack without airflow separation via boundary layer control. Therefore, the stall speed abruptly increases leading to longer distance, rather than improved thrust or fuel efficiency.
