Which outcome arises when a jet engine's turbine blades experience excessive thermal stress during rapid throttle adjustments?

A)Compressor stall and surge
B)Increased combustion efficiency
C)Improved fuel economy metrics
D)Enhanced thrust-to-weight ratio

💡 Explanation

Compressor stall occurs when the **boundary layer separation** on the turbine blades grows rapidly, because this reduces airflow pressure and reverses flow into the compressor stage. Therefore, the engine surges, rather than maintaining stable thrust, under load.
