Which scenario occurs when avian wing loading nears a critical threshold?

💡 Explanation

Increased wing loading raises the stall speed because exceeding the critical angle of attack initiates boundary layer separation, therefore stall occurs rather than laminar flow which would decrease drag or efficient respiration occurring.
