← TechnologyWhich aerodynamic phenomenon reduces control effectiveness near stall?
A)Adverse yaw moment generation
B)Boundary layer flow separation✓
C)Center of pressure divergence
D)Tip vortex induced downwash
💡 Explanation
Boundary layer flow separation dramatically thickens the boundary layer and disrupts smooth airflow over control surfaces. This degrades lift generation because increased pressure drag and turbulence, therefore reduces elevator, aileron, and rudder effectiveness, rather than yaw, center of pressure shift, or wingtip effects.
