Which outcome results when a turbojet engine operates continuously at maximum thrust at high altitude?

A)Compressor stall from reduced air density
B)Turbine blade creep from excessive heat
C)Combustor blowout from lean fuel mixture
D)Nozzle erosion from increased gas velocity

💡 Explanation

When a turbojet operates at max thrust at high altitude, turbine blade creep occurs because reduced air density increases turbine inlet temperatures under maximum fuel flow, leading to long duration stress at elevated temperatures and plastic deformation. Therefore turbine blade creep results, rather than stall, blowout, or erosion which require different operational conditions.
