Which outcome occurs when aerodynamic surfaces fail to maintain laminar flow?

💡 Explanation

Increased drag results from turbulence if laminar flow separates; the **adverse pressure gradient** causes the boundary layer to thicken, which leads to separation because the reverse flow increases drag and reduces effective lift rather than maintaining predicted lift.
