Which stall consequence arises when asymmetrical ice accumulation changes airfoil geometry?

A)Uncommanded roll and yaw moment
B)Reduced parasite drag coefficient
C)Delayed boundary layer transition
D)Increased critical mach number

💡 Explanation

Icing leads to flow separation caused by **adverse pressure gradient**, creating differential lift across the wings which induces rolling. This occurs because the stalling angle of attack is locally decreased with increased drag; therefore, control difficulties increases, rather than improved airflow.
