← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when leading-edge slats retract during low-speed aircraft maneuvers?
A)Control surface stall sensitivity increases✓
B)Airflow smoothly transitions to laminar
C)Induced drag is minimized drastically
D)Reynolds number threshold decreases rapidly
💡 Explanation
Increased separation causes greater stall sensitivity because leading edge slats extend the stall angle by using the slot effect; high-pressure air flows over the upper wing surface leading to boundary layer energization. Therefore, surface stalls increase rather than laminar flow because that requires attached airflow.
