← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when airspeed exceeds laminar condition?
A)Onset of pressure drag increases✓
B)Bernoulli equation maintains linearity
C)Velocity gradients remain highly predictable
D)Lift-to-drag ratio will always improve
💡 Explanation
Pressure drag increases with turbulence because increased energy dissipation violates the assumptions in the simplified Bernoulli equation; therefore higher drag results rather than lift improvement, because the equation’s applicability declines, leading to unpredictable flow.
