← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a small aircraft's aileron cable tension drastically loosens?
A)Increased rudder stall at low speeds
B)Reduced effectiveness of yaw damper
C)Flutter instability close to stall✓
D)Elevator jamming during steep climbs
💡 Explanation
Flutter risk increases because reduced cable tension lowers the **torsional stiffness**. This reduction increases the positive feedback between aerodynamic forces and aileron's motion, leading to oscillations, therefore impacting maneuverability, rather than primarily affecting yaw or elevator systems.
