Which consequence results when turbulence prevents smooth flow in an aircraft's boundary layer?

💡 Explanation

Increased drag and decreased lift occur because turbulent flow increases momentum transfer away from the surface, thickening the boundary layer and leading to pressure drag; therefore lift is reduced, rather than enhanced under unstable aerodynamic conditions.
