← TechnologyWhich aerodynamic effect results in decreased lift during icing conditions?
A)Premature boundary layer separation✓
B)Increased static air pressure
C)Elevated induced drag coefficient
D)Enhanced laminar airflow adhesion
💡 Explanation
Icing on an aircraft wing disrupts smooth airflow which causes premature boundary layer separation; because of this separation, airflow detaches from the wing surface, therefore lift dramatically decreases rather than is enhanced or pressure rises.
