Which consequence results when aerodynamic surfaces experience boundary layer separation?

A)Dramatic induced drag increase ensues
B)Lift coefficient continues linearly upwards
C)Skin friction drag remains unchanged
D)Pressure drag reaches minimum potential

💡 Explanation

Separation causes a stall because adverse pressure gradient overcomes viscous forces, triggering turbulent flow via Adverse Pressure Gradient. Therefore, drag increases dramatically, rather than remaining constant, because lift sharply decreases.
