Overflight stall speed increases when ice accumulates; which mechanism decreases lift?

💡 Explanation

Icing causes premature turbulent transition in the boundary layer because it disrupts airflow over the wing, therefore decreasing the lift coefficient, rather than laminar flow that remains attached longer. Stall speed consequently increases in the iced up profile.
