Technology

Which outcome sharply increases drag when ice accretion compromises wing geometry and flight envelope expands?

A)Premature landing gear deployment
B)Induced stall angle reduction
C)Turbulent boundary layer transition
D)Laminar flow region extension

💡 Explanation

A turbulent boundary layer transition occurs because ice disrupts laminar flow, increasing pressure drag and flow separation; therefore stall speed rises sharply, rather than decreasing or generating premature landing gear deployment, which is a separate system.
