← TechnologyWhich outcome sharply increases drag when ice accretion compromises wing geometry and flight envelope expands?
A)Premature landing gear deployment
B)Induced stall angle reduction
C)Turbulent boundary layer transition✓
D)Laminar flow region extension
💡 Explanation
A turbulent boundary layer transition occurs because ice disrupts laminar flow, increasing pressure drag and flow separation; therefore stall speed rises sharply, rather than decreasing or generating premature landing gear deployment, which is a separate system.
