Which control consequence would appear upon failure of an inertial measurement unit within a UAV?

💡 Explanation

Incorrect waypoint navigation data results because sensor data is absent, thus disabling the UAV's ability to perform dead reckoning via sensor fusion. Therefore proper autopilot cannot be maintained, rather than simpler stability issues or non-critical load management.

• Which consequence results when thermally-induced bending stress is concentrated near crankshaft fillets?
• Surface ripples occur on hardened steel after grinding due to which mechanism?
• Which risk increases when internal combustion engine misfires consistently in one cylinder?
• Which outcome directly affects an aircraft's control surfaces following icing that exceeds anti-ice system capacity?
• Which protection measure limits voltage surge damage from lightning strikes on electrical transmission systems?
• If a submarine's fiber optic gyroscope suffers wavelength drift, which outcome is likely?
