โ ScienceWhich outcome results when aerodynamic stall surpasses critical AoA?
A)Lift decreases, drag increases rapidlyโ
B)Transition to laminar airflow increases
C)Dynamic pressure remains largely unaffected
D)Boundary layer remains fully attached
๐ก Explanation
Separation occurs because exceeding critical AoA leads to adverse pressure gradients, driving boundary layer separation โ the 'Adverse Pressure Gradient' mechanism. Therefore, lift rapidly declines and a steep rise in drag occurs, rather than remaining attached or laminar.
