← TechnologyWhich risk increases when de-icing fluid becomes too dilute before flight?
A)Icing-induced aerodynamic stall✓
B)Turbine blade root fractures
C)Hypersonic shockwave turbulence
D)Elevated parasitic drag coefficient
💡 Explanation
Icing-induced aerodynamic stall risk increases because the freezing point depressant effect of the glycol is reduced due to dilution via atmospheric moisture; therefore, ice forms more readily, rather than having sufficient protection against icing.
