← TechnologyWhich increased flight control instability results when an aircraft experiences flutter?
A)Aeroelastic instability self-excites oscillations✓
B)Compressible flow induces shock stalling
C)Boundary layer grows uncontrollably early
D)Turbulence overwhelms control surface actuators
💡 Explanation
Destructive flutter creates dangerous oscillations because aeroelastic instability, involving aerodynamic forces and structural elasticity, amplifies them. Therefore, self-excited aeroelastic divergence causes structural failure rather than just compressibility effects or normal turbulent aerodynamic load.
