Which outcome results when increased wing loading diminishes soaring duration?

A)Reduced boundary layer turbulence effects
B)Enhanced lift-to-drag ratio stall margin
C)Higher induced drag in turning flight
D)Decreased dependence on thermal updrafts

💡 Explanation

Higher wing loading causes smaller turning radius; therefore induced drag significantly increases because vortex shedding dominates rather than attached flow along wing surface causing reduced soaring depending on effective convective thermals.
