← TechnologyWhich risk increases significantly when an aircraft’s slats are deployed asymmetrically during flight?
A)Elevated stall speed
B)Uncontrolled roll tendency✓
C)Decreased lift coefficient
D)Engine flameout probability
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled roll arises from asymmetric lift; asymmetric slat deployment alters airflow unequally across the wings, causing differential lift through uneven boundary layer control along each air foil, because of unequal lift distribution. Therefore roll occurs rather than symmetrical stall, since forces are unbalanced.
