← Nature & AnimalsWhich condition arises when a bird's wing loading increases substantially during turbulent conditions?
A)Stall speed increases significantly✓
B)Soaring efficiency gets optimized
C)Laminar flow remains fully ensured
D)Feather barbules enhance interlocking
💡 Explanation
A higher wing loading during turbulence leads to an increased stall speed because Bernoulli's principle combined with angle of attack exceeds critical limits, therefore stalls become more likely rather than stable laminar airflow.
