Which flight characteristic degrades when washout is insufficient in aircraft design?

💡 Explanation

Longitudinal static stability degrades with insufficient washout because it causes the wing tips to stall before the root. This leads to sudden loss of lift at the wingtips therefore reducing the aircraft's pitch stability rather than aerodynamic drag.
