Above the flutter speed, the amplitude of the oscillation

  • A.Grows until the structure fails
  • B.Settles at a constant value
  • C.Decays slowly
  • D.Depends only on the pilot's input

Answer: A

Flutter is a dynamic instability, so beyond the critical speed the amplitude grows and can destroy the structure within seconds. That is what makes it categorically different from a merely poorly damped mode, and why flutter clearance is demonstrated by careful expansion of the envelope rather than by exploration. A constant amplitude is the boundary case exactly at the flutter speed. Decay describes speeds below it. And it is self-excited, needing no continuing input.
