← ScienceWhich risk increases when aerodynamic surfaces encounter separated turbulent flow?
A)Control surface reversal reduces authority✓
B)Boundary layer remains predictably laminar
C)Parasitic drag steadily transitions laminar
D)Increased lift coefficient from controlled separation
💡 Explanation
A separated turbulent flow on a control surface reduces its effectiveness because flow separation and erratic pressure distribution diminishes the control force; therefore, aerodynamic authority decreases rather than remaining constant, and laminar flow prevents this effect.
