Which outcome reduces lift when an aircraft wing stalls?

💡 Explanation

The turbulent boundary layer separates at high angles because the adverse pressure gradient overcomes the airflow's momentum, initiating flow reversal. Therefore, lift decreases due to separation, rather than continued laminar flow or decreasing drag.
