Across a jet wing which consequence results when the boundary Reynolds number exceeds design?

💡 Explanation

The transition to turbulence occurs because increased Reynolds number leads to instability via Tollmien-Schlichting waves, thus leading to turbulent flow rather than sustained laminar flow because laminar flow is only sustained at very low Reynolds numbers.
