← ScienceWhich outcome results when aircraft experience clear-air turbulence?
A)Increased aerodynamic drag deceleration occurs✓
B)Lift generation always becomes consistent
C)Laminar flow smoothly re-establishes
D)Boundary layer separation spontaneously vanishes
💡 Explanation
Increased drag happens during clear-air turbulence because momentum transfer elevates viscous forces; therefore aerodynamic deceleration results rather than lift increase because airflow becomes disorganized, and boundary layer thickness alterations occur. The mechanism at play is turbulent diffusion.
