← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when a bird's wing loading increases due to temporarily saturated plumage?
A)Increased reliance on slow twitch fibers
B)Reduced stall speed control margin✓
C)Enhanced boundary layer turbulence reduction
D)Decreased sensitivity to convective thermals
💡 Explanation
Increased wing loading elevates the required lift. Insufficient lift generates a stall. Water adds weight. Therefore stall speed control margins reduce because the stall angle remains fixed, rather than more lift and faster speed being able to compensate completely.
