← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence occurs when a bird's wings experience increased span loading?
A)Induced drag is minimized during soaring
B)Feather abrasion and structural failure elevates✓
C)Lift generation is limited by stall angle
D)Flight muscle efficiency is amplified greatly
💡 Explanation
Elevated span loading concentrates aerodynamic forces, thus promoting greater feather abrasion due to friction causing increased structural failure risk, because induced stress accumulates at connection points. Therefore, structural failure risk elevation is promoted, rather than improved soaring behavior or efficiency.
