← ScienceWhich risk to aircraft control increases greatly due to atmospheric turbulence during flight?
A)Uncontrolled flutter mode in aerodynamic surfaces✓
B)Reduction of engine fuel combustion efficiency
C)Increased static friction in flight controls
D)Increased convective heat transfer from skin
💡 Explanation
Uncommanded control reversal risk increases because turbulence induces **flutter**, an aeroelastic instability of wing structures. Flutter couples aerodynamic forces to structural vibrations, therefore causing violent oscillations of control surfaces and potential loss of control, rather than simple friction effects.
