← TechnologyWhich risk increases when wing-mounted spoilers fail to deploy during descent?
A)Uncontrolled airspeed increase✓
B)Reduced engine combustion efficiency
C)Elevated cabin differential pressure
D)Compromised landing gear lock integrity
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled airspeed surge occurs due to absent drag augmentation; spoilers control rate of descent by boundary layer disruption to induce drag. This happens because *flow separation* increases drag; therefore airspeed increases, rather than being mitigated because other features cause lift reduction.
