← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a wing's boundary layer separates during approach to landing?
A)Decreased lift; increased stall speed✓
B)Increased drag, reduced fuel efficiency
C)Improved rudder control; increased maneuverability
D)Excessive actuator load; damaged flaps
💡 Explanation
Decreased lift, and subsequently increased stall speed, occurs due to boundary layer separation preventing smooth airflow aka *adverse pressure gradient* over the airfoil, because the wing loses lift; therefore stall occurs at higher speeds, rather than normal takeoff.
