Which consequence occurs when avian air sac volume reduces under heavy aerodynamic load?

💡 Explanation

Flight instability goes up because wing downwash compresses air-sacs, deforming the aerodynamic profile, weakening lift. This causes lift reduction, rather than improved temperature regulation or lung collapse because air sacs influence air flow rather than directly.
