Which outcome occurs when airflow reaches a Reynolds number indicating transition within an aircraft's boundary layer?

💡 Explanation

Increased skin friction drag result from the Transition to Turbulence because increased mixing and momentum transfer enhances shear at the surface, therefore friction increases rather than flow remaining laminar or re-laminating without significant boundary layer changes.
