Which undesirable outcome in jet aircraft occurs due to decreased wing efficiency at very high altitude?

💡 Explanation

Induced drag increases at higher altitudes; the wing operates at a higher Angle Of Attack to generate lift, approaching stall. Boundary layers separate prematurely because "shock waves" from **compressibility stall** begin significantly earlier, therefore stall occurs at lower speeds, rather than optimal conditions.
