Which lift reduction occurs when wingtip vortices intensify?

💡 Explanation

Increasing wingtip vortices intensify spanwise pressure differences, creating stronger downwash. Because this downwash redirects airflow downward behind the wing, the induced drag increases significantly; therefore, lift lessens, rather than parasite drag reduction or laminar boundary creation.
