Which consequence results when excessive hydraulic damping in aircraft landing gear occurs?

A)Wheel assembly rapidly oscillates ('shimmy')
B)Longer stopping distances on touchdown
C)Increased structural stress to fuselage
D)Inefficient fuel consumption at altitude

💡 Explanation

Increased stress results because *impact absorption* lessens when damping is too high, therefore limiting energy dissipation, rather than allowing efficient strut compression. This creates greater forces transferred to the aircraft's body during landing, placing significantly more acute stress on structural supports.
