← TechnologyWhich outcome results when a commercial aircraft attempts to land with malfunctioning leading-edge slats?
A)Elevated stall speed is experienced✓
B)Reduced structural load on wings
C)Improved fuel efficiency during approach
D)Minimized turbulence behind the aircraft
💡 Explanation
Elevated stall speed results when leading-edge slats malfunction because **boundary layer separation** occurs prematurely on the wing. The increased stall speed demands faster landings, therefore raising the risk of runway overruns rather than improving efficiency or reducing structural loads.
