Which consequence results when avian air sac rupture compromises pressure differentials during flight?

💡 Explanation

When air sacs rupture, compromising pressure differentials, asymmetric airflow results because air leaks to unintended areas which affects balance, thus impairs flight. Therefore, balance impairment result, rather than reduced lift, increased drag, or greater muscle because stabilization mechanism failure is primary.
