← HistoryWhich outcome results from twist-induced stress on Viking longship sails?
A)Decreased propulsive efficiency overall✓
B)Increased helm correction frequency
C)Stabilized vessel roll acceleration
D)Reduced sailcloth moisture absorption
💡 Explanation
Decreased propulsive efficiency occurs because sail twist modifies the airfoil shape causing flow separation. The change in airflow reduces thrust, therefore, efficiency degrades rather than stability increasing, since twist concentrates stress unevenly.
