← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a glider's control surfaces experience ice accumulation during flight?
A)Increased stall speed develops quickly✓
B)Elevated engine combustor temperatures appear
C)Reduced parasitic drag occurs gradually
D)Decreased structural bending moment happens
💡 Explanation
Icing increases the glider's weight and disrupts airflow, therefore the stall speed increases rapidly because of a lower lift coefficient caused by separated flow; rather than decreasing parasite drag or affecting engine operation, which gliders do not use.
