Which outcome results when combustion instability occurs in a staged rocket engine cycle?

💡 Explanation

Because the rapid, cyclical energy release couples with acoustic modes inside the thrust chamber, oscillating pressures occur via amplified constructive interference; this is called thermoacoustic resonance. Therefore thrust vectoring becomes unreliable, rather than optimized efficiency, because this cycle increases amplitude.
