← TechnologyWhich effect results when vortex shedding occurs in aircraft elevator control cables?
A)Increased parasite drag negligibly
B)Aileron flutter self-reinforcement forms
C)Aeroelastic instability might develop✓
D)Reduced fuel consumption immediately noticed
💡 Explanation
Aeroelastic instability might develop because vortex shedding induces oscillating forces on the cable. These forces excite the cable's natural frequencies via forced vibration, leading to resonance and potential instability; therefore, aeroelastic instability emerges, rather than minor drag increases/fuel savings.
