Which outcome causes lift reduction as supersonic air accelerates past a wing according to the Prandtl-Glauert transformation?

💡 Explanation

Shock waves form due to air compressibility as the speed passes Mach 1, because airflow significantly changes and pressure increases abruptly per the Prandtl-Glauert, therefore lift reduces; rather than induced drag.
