← TechnologyWhich feedback control issue arises when hydraulic valve poppet oscillations exceed expected limits in an aircraft flight control system at high frequencies?
A)Increased actuator thermal runaway risk
B)Control surface flutter amplification develops✓
C)Reduced dampening of servo instability
D)Accelerated hydraulic fluid contamination cycle
💡 Explanation
Flutter occurs because exceeding the valve poppet oscillation limits causes unwanted periodic forces on the control surface due to parametric excitation mechanism. Therefore, flutter develops rather than thermal runaway in the actuator or fluid contamination from normal hydraulic operations.
