Which consequence results when ice formation contaminates an aircraft's turbine compressor?

💡 Explanation

Compressor stall and engine surge occur because ice accretion disrupts the compressor's **boundary layer separation**, reducing blade efficiency. Therefore the compressor stalls, rather than combustion instability, because airflow dynamics change, not fuel mixture or thermal conditions.
