Which outcome occurs when viscous boundary layer separation becomes significant around an aircraft's landing gear during descent?

💡 Explanation

Increased skin friction occurs because viscous boundary layer separation increases the region affected by the *form roughness effect* on the bluff body of the gear. This means there's additional momentum transfer, therefore drag is increased rather than decreased, diminishing lift.
