Which wing deformation occurs when a soaring bird exceeds its critical wing loading during thermal updraft use?

💡 Explanation

When a bird's wing exceeds critical wing loading, elastic deformation causes camber reduction, decreasing the wing's lift because the wing structure cannot maintain its shape optimally. Therefore camber reduction results, rather than stall recovery, flutter delay, or speed loss, which involve different aerodynamic control mechanisms.
