← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results when increased wing loading diminishes soaring duration?
A)Reduced boundary layer turbulence effects
B)Enhanced lift-to-drag ratio stall margin
C)Higher induced drag in turning flight✓
D)Decreased dependence on thermal updrafts
💡 Explanation
Higher wing loading causes smaller turning radius; therefore induced drag significantly increases because vortex shedding dominates rather than attached flow along wing surface causing reduced soaring depending on effective convective thermals.
