← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a hydraulic actuator driving an aircraft's flight control surface experiences excessively high-frequency command signals?
A)Control surface oscillation amplification✓
B)Decreased actuator seal wear rates
C)Improved aerodynamic damping efficacy
D)Reduced hydraulic fluid temperature rise
💡 Explanation
Control surface oscillation amplification occurs due to hydraulic resonance; excessive frequency input excites the actuator's natural frequencies leading to amplified output, because the servovalve cannot accurately track, therefore the control surfaces vibrate, rather than smoothly respond.
