← TechnologyWhich outcome causes increased turbulence during aircraft flight?
A)Adverse yaw from aileron deflection
B)Lift-induced drag from high AoA✓
C)Reduced stall speed at altitude
D)Increased parasitic drag inefficiency gain
💡 Explanation
Increased turbulence happens because lift-induced drag generates wingtip vortices via the **downwash effect**. This reduces lift near the wingtips. Therefore, the aircraft experiences turbulent airflow especially at high angles of attack, rather than a smoother flow.
