Which consequence results when a supersonic aircraft's ascent profile violates the area rule equation?

💡 Explanation

Increased transonic wave drag develops because when the area rule is violated, the aircraft's cross-sectional area changes abruptly along its length leading to greater air compression as it approaches Mach 1; therefore wave drag acutely increases rather than other aerodynamic instabilities.
