Which mechanism induces drag increases as airflow separates approaching stall?

💡 Explanation

An adverse pressure gradient causes boundary layer separation, inducing turbulent flow because the pressure increases in the direction of flow. Therefore, separation increases drag in the wing's wake by the pressure overcoming the air's initial momentum, rather than laminar conditions, which reduce it.
