← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a stall fence on an aircraft wing is damaged during flight?
A)Unpredictable asymmetric roll control loss✓
B)Elevated fuel consumption calculations abound
C)Increased structural wing skin load
D)Elevated actuation system hydraulic pressures
💡 Explanation
Asymmetric roll control loss rises because airflow separation and stalling occurs unevenly; stall fences manage spanwise flow and delay stalls via vortex generation. Therefore loss of fence integrity allows uncontrolled separation, rather than maintaining predictable stall progression with aileron authority.
