Which outcome limits the maximum glide ratio during avian dynamic soaring in turbulent air?

💡 Explanation

When turbulent air encounters a soaring bird, induced drag from increased feather ruffling to maintain control disrupts streamlined airflow, increasing parasite drag because of greater surface friction. Therefore maximum glide ratio decreases, rather than lift reduction, increased energy expenditure, or decreased stall speed, which need different atmospheric conditions.
