← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a turbine-powered amphibious aircraft experiences asymmetrical thrust reversing during landing?
A)Yaw instability and ground looping✓
B)Elevator stall and pitch oscillations
C)Rudder lock due to servo failure
D)Wing icing due to airflow disruption
💡 Explanation
Yaw instability significantly risks control because asymmetrical thrust reversing creates differential drag, initiating a yawing moment. Therefore, the aircraft is likely to swerve uncontrollably, leading to a ground loop, rather than experiencing pitch instability or rudder issues in this scenario.
