← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs on aircraft landing when strut rebound exceeds hydraulic dampening?
A)Uncontrolled vertical oscillation develops✓
B)Tire deflation prevents further bounces
C)Landing gear locks permanently extended
D)Aircraft directional control immediately inverts
💡 Explanation
An uncontrolled vertical oscillation (wheel hop) develops because insufficient damping allows repeated spring rebounds during landing; the hydraulic dampening’s energy dissipation is overcome by strut elastic energy; therefore, hop starts, rather than a smooth settling, when the dampening is insufficient.
