Which circumstance causes induced drag during aircraft climb?

A)Increased angle of attack
B)Decreased air pressure
C)Lowered flap deployment angle
D)Stabilizer trim adjustment

💡 Explanation

Increasing the angle of attack to gain lift during climb inevitably increases induced drag because wingtip vortices intensify. The increased vortex magnitude converts more kinetic energy into turbulent flow, therefore drag rises, rather than remaining constant at lower angles.
