← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when airspeed exceeds design limits on commercial aircraft wings?
A)Boundary layer undergoes turbulent transition✓
B)Laminar flow always remains stabilized
C)Viscosity reduces aerodynamic control forces
D)Adverse stall is prevented mechanically
💡 Explanation
Turbulence ensues due to increased Reynolds number via rapid acceleration, creating boundary layer separation because the flow exceeds design parameters, triggering adverse pressure against the wing. Therefore, a turbulent transition ensues, rather than laminar stability; the viscosity effect is minor
