Which outcome causes increased turbulence during aircraft flight?

A)Adverse yaw from aileron deflection
B)Lift-induced drag from high AoA
C)Reduced stall speed at altitude
D)Increased parasitic drag inefficiency gain

💡 Explanation

Increased turbulence happens because lift-induced drag generates wingtip vortices via the **downwash effect**. This reduces lift near the wingtips. Therefore, the aircraft experiences turbulent airflow especially at high angles of attack, rather than a smoother flow.
