Which risk increases when a jet engine exceeds design RPM?

A)Turbine blade flutter develops rapidly
B)Exhaust plume becomes visually opaque
C)Combustion efficiency sharply increases
D)Compressor stalls reverse airflow

💡 Explanation

Exceeding design RPM increases flutter because a blade's resonance frequency is approached; this aeroelastic instability leads to catastrophic failure. This is more likely than opaque plume, which signals incomplete combustion, rather than overspeed, and stall is a different instability.
