← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a turbine-powered aircraft experiences icing with reduced airflow?
A)Compressor stall and possible flameout✓
B)Increased turbine blade creep rate
C)Elevated fuel-to-air ratio demanded
D)Reduced nozzle guide vane erosion
💡 Explanation
Stall and flameout follow ice accretion because the decreased airflow causes insufficient pressure rise across the compressor. This triggers aerodynamic instability – compressor stall – ultimately leading to a flameout; therefore A, rather than increased creep (B) or fuel demand (C).
