← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome primarily affects a bird's stalling speed when wing loading dramatically increases?
A)Increased minimum airspeed threshold✓
B)Decreased angle of attack tolerance
C)Enhanced boundary layer separation
D)Elevated induced drag coefficient
💡 Explanation
When wing loading increases, more lift is required to maintain flight because of increased weight relative to the available wing area, which raises the minimum speed required to generate sufficient lift and avoid stall. Therefore increased minimum airspeed threshold results, rather than alternatives that reduce angle of attacks or involve aerodynamic drag properties.
