← TechnologyWhich consequence results when turbulent airflow disrupts the boundary layer during aircraft flight?
A)Stalling and loss of lift✓
B)Increased fuel efficiency margins
C)Decreased skin friction drag force
D)Enhanced laminar flow stability
💡 Explanation
Stalling occurs because **flow separation** is initiated by turbulent flow overcoming the adverse pressure gradient; therefore, lift is dramatically reduced, rather than fuel efficiency improving, impacting safe flight and control.
