← ScienceWhich outcome reduces lift when an aircraft wing stalls?
A)Turbulent boundary layer separates✓
B)Laminar flow remains attached
C)Drag decreases significantly
D)Pressure gradient becomes linear
💡 Explanation
The turbulent boundary layer separates at high angles because the adverse pressure gradient overcomes the airflow's momentum, initiating flow reversal. Therefore, lift decreases due to separation, rather than continued laminar flow or decreasing drag.
