Question: A test is being run in a wind tunnel when a sensor on the trailing edge of a wing produces the response shown in Figure
A test is being run in a wind tunnel when a sensor on the trailing edge of a wing produces the response shown in Figure P5 \(-4 \underline{6}\). When the sensor output reached \(1 \mathrm{~V}\), the test was terminated. You are asked to analyze the results. The oscillation could be tolerated if it never reaches \(20 \mathrm{~V}\) because the onboard computer can mitigate it. However, the response time for the computer to actuate the compensating aileron is \(80 \mathrm{~ms}\). Will the compensation occur in time?
