← ScienceWhich risk increases when aircraft airspeed decreases below the stall speed?
A)Engine flameout due to fuel starvation
B)Loss of lift due to flow separation✓
C)Structural failure from excessive G-force
D)Control surface reversal due to flutter
💡 Explanation
When airspeed drops below stall speed, flow separation occurs because the angle of attack exceeds the critical angle, leading to a sudden loss of lift. Therefore loss of lift results, rather than flameout, structural failure, or control reversal which require different aerodynamic conditions.
