Which outcome occurs when a subsonic jet engine's airflow transitions to turbulence?

💡 Explanation

Elevated compressor blade fatigue risk follows the airflow transition to turbulence. This occurs because the increased Reynolds number past a critical threshold increases the aerodynamic stresses via turbulent buffeting, therefore leading to higher cyclical loads rather than more uniform flow regimes.
