Which outcome results when a jet engine experiences compressor stall?

A)Thrust reduction and engine vibration
B)Increased fuel efficiency immediately
C)Stable and uniform airflow continues
D)Reduced turbine blade temperatures reliably

💡 Explanation

Compressor stall arises from flow separation on compressor blades; the mechanism is aerodynamic stall. The separated flow induces turbulence, severely disrupting high-pressure air delivery, because reverse flow and thrust fluctuations occur rather than efficient combustion. Therefore, thrust decreases radically and intensive vibration manifests itself.
