← ScienceWhich outcome develops following increased aircraft speed near stall?
A)Boundary layer transition to turbulence✓
B)Elevator control surface stiffening
C)Reduced adverse pressure gradients forms
D)Spanwise flow migrates toward wingtips
💡 Explanation
A turbulent boundary layer results because increased speed approaching stall introduces flow separation, initiating turbulence; the unstable airflow disrupts the laminar boundary layer. Therefore turbulence happens rather than laminar flow, minimizing lift and increasing drag.
