Which outcome results when aircraft experience clear-air turbulence?

💡 Explanation

Increased drag happens during clear-air turbulence because momentum transfer elevates viscous forces; therefore aerodynamic deceleration results rather than lift increase because airflow becomes disorganized, and boundary layer thickness alterations occur. The mechanism at play is turbulent diffusion.
