← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a subsonic aircraft's angle of attack exceeds the critical angle?
A)Boundary layer flow separation✓
B)Increased compression wave formation
C)Reduced skin friction drag
D)Enhanced laminar flow stability
💡 Explanation
Boundary layer flow separation increases because adverse pressure gradient overcomes momentum, initiating stall, therefore lift rapidly reduces rather than gradual changes; separated flow increases drag.
