Which risk increases when an aircraft's wing experiences flutter?

A)Resonance causing structural failure
B)Increased parasite drag dominates
C)Boundary layer separation stalls
D)Excessive fuel consumption develops

💡 Explanation

Flutter is a self-feeding aeroelastic instability where aerodynamic forces couple with structural vibrations, causing damaging and uncontrolled oscillations because of resonance; therefore, the wing could fail, rather than increased drag alone due unstable vibrations. Other effects might secondarily occur.
