← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs affecting flight stability when ice accumulates foremost wing edges?
A)Lift coefficient stall angle decreases✓
B)Drag coefficient decreases markedly overall
C)Thrust requirement greatly diminishes
D)Boundary airflow becomes purely laminar
💡 Explanation
Lift degrades from ice disrupting smooth airflow over airfoil. This is because the **boundary layer separation** is prematurely induced by the ice, therefore the lift available reduces as stall angle decreases, rather than any benefits from decreased drag.
