Which outcome occurs under thermal updraft conditions when contour feathers fail to properly overlap during albatross soaring?

💡 Explanation

Increased feather separation causes premature turbulent transition. The boundary layer transition shifts forward because increased surface roughness promotes earlier destabilization, therefore thickening the overall layer, rather than creating lift improvements.
