Which outcome occurs when ice crystals accumulate differentially on a turboprop engine inlet's spinner?

A)Aerodynamic imbalance induces engine vibration
B)Fuel injectors become clogged and starved
C)Ignition timing drifts out of range
D)Erosion to the turbine blades accelerates

💡 Explanation

Aerodynamic imbalance induces engine vibration, because asymmetric ice accretion causes uneven mass distribution at the spinner: centrifugal forces create oscillations due to this imbalance. This causes harmful resonance; therefore, reducing vibration is the primary goal rather than changes with turbine wear patterns, ignition, or direct fuel regulation.
