Which malfunction is prompted when aircraft landing gear doors fail?

A)Increased airframe drag at altitude
B)Premature engagement of thrust reversers
C)Uncontrolled roll during high speed
D)Elevator flutter due to altered airflow

💡 Explanation

Failure of landing gear doors causes increased drag at altitude because turbulent airflow from the open bay creates parasitic drag. This is due to increased form drag on the bay, rather than premature thrust reverser engagement since their activation is unrelated.
