Which outcome occurs when thermals are turbulent during soaring?

💡 Explanation

Decreased lift results because increased atmospheric variations disrupts smooth airflow. Wing aerodynamic lift stalls with flow separation, a boundary-layer transition problem. This increases drag and decreases lift suddenly; airflow must remain stable, rather than laminar conditions failing.
