← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs during aircraft landing when atmospheric icing compromises flap extension?
A)Stall speed increases significantly✓
B)Turbulence intensity decreases sharply
C)Lift-to-drag ratio remains constant
D)Fuel consumption reaches minimum levels
💡 Explanation
Aircraft icing impedes flap deployment, and therefore *boundary layer separation* cannot be delayed, because a smooth airflow can not be maintained over a larger wing. This results in higher stall speed, rather than improved turbulence or unchanged lift, given identical approach parameters.
