Which 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.
