← TechnologyWhich constraint results when an aircraft experiences icing?
A)Increased stall speed threshold✓
B)Decreased engine combustion efficiency
C)Reduced hydraulic pump output
D)Compromised static discharge capacity
💡 Explanation
Icing increases an aircraft's weight and disrupts airflow; the increased stall speed threshold occurs because boundary layer separation is worsened during icing, which accelerates stall, therefore lift is reduced much sooner, rather than combustion, pump output, or static discharge directly.
