← ScienceWhich consequence results when boundary layer transition is disrupted in hypersonic flight?
A)Increased skin friction drag✓
B)Decreased convective heat flux
C)Reduced vehicle radar signature
D)Delayed chemical reaction kinetics
💡 Explanation
Increased skin friction drag occurs because disruption accelerates boundary layer transition to turbulence, causing greater momentum transfer; the increased drag heats the vehicle, therefore increased drag not reduced heat flux, rather than improved radar signature.
