Science

Which phenomenon suppresses lift generation when an aircraft wing experiences excessive turbulence?

A)Boundary layer flow separation
B)Increased skin friction drag
C)Reduced adverse pressure gradient
D)Enhanced laminar flow stability

💡 Explanation

Boundary layer flow separation causes lift loss because turbulence disrupts the smooth airflow and increases momentum exchange within the boundary layer. Therefore, separation occurs rather than the alternatives, initiating stall because smooth airflow is now impossible.
