Which outcome occurs when the boundary layer transitions from laminar to turbulent flow across an aircraft wing, based on the momentum equation?

💡 Explanation

Increased skin friction drag occurs because transitioning to turbulence causes increased mixing and momentum transfer near the surface; therefore the drag increases rather than decreasing lift because laminar flow minimizes friction, and delayed separation involves pressure gradients.
