← TechnologyWhich effect occurs when the landing gear of transport aircraft rapidly cycles during flight due to a control system malfunction?
A)Aerodynamic flutter destabilizes flight surfaces✓
B)Excessive heat damages brake assemblies
C)Reduced thrust causes engine stall
D)Fuel sloshing disrupts aircraft stability
💡 Explanation
Rapid gear cycling causes alternating airflow disturbances. This triggers *aerodynamic flutter* of the wing and tail because control surfaces oscillate violently; therefore flutter emerges rather than brake or engine troubles under standard temperature due to direct airflow dynamics.
