← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a commercial aircraft experiences a sudden, uncommanded rudder deflection at cruising altitude?
A)Dutch roll instability amplifies rapidly✓
B)Angle of attack decreases immediately
C)Turbulence levels remain constant aloft
D)Lift-induced drag is significantly reduced
💡 Explanation
Dutch roll occurs because strong uncommanded rudder input excites a combined rolling and yawing motion which is positively reinforced. This oscillatory instability grows therefore because aerodynamic coupling induces a spiral rather than gradual return to equilibrium.
