Which risk increases when Reynolds number climbs during flight?

💡 Explanation

Increased Reynolds number indicates higher inertial forces relative to viscous forces and promotes the *instability of laminar flow*. Therefore, a turbulent boundary layer appears because inertial forces overwhelm viscous damping, rather than maintaining laminar flow.
