← Nature & AnimalsWhich soaring performance boost accompanies reduced wingtip vortices, specifically?
A)Induced drag is greatly decreased.✓
B)Span-loading experiences minimized shifts.
C)Laminar boundary transitions delay greatly.
D)Control surface flapping becomes dampened.
💡 Explanation
A reduced turbulent wake behind a soaring albatross lowers induced drag. This outcome is due to vorticity diffusion because energy loss is reduced, therefore extending soaring range, rather than only affecting span loading or control because decreased turbulence mainly prevents energy loss.
