Which outcome occurs due to flutter when a landing gear door actuator fails mid-flight?

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled oscillations develop due to aeroelastic flutter; the actuator failure alters mass distribution predisposing the gear door to self-excited vibrations. Because of sustained interaction exchanging energy, structural integrity degrades rapidly, therefore flutter occurs, rather than simple drag increase.
