Which consequence results when boundary layer transition is disrupted in hypersonic flight?

💡 Explanation

Increased skin friction drag occurs because disruption accelerates boundary layer transition to turbulence, causing greater momentum transfer; the increased drag heats the vehicle, therefore increased drag not reduced heat flux, rather than improved radar signature.
