← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a jet engine experiences ice crystal icing?
A)Compressor stall occurrence spikes✓
B)Fuel system vaporization increases
C)Turbine blade creep accelerates
D)Combustor flame flashback ensues
💡 Explanation
Compressor stall chances rise because ice crystal icing accumulation disrupts airflow and reduces the stall margin from the baseline. This airflow distortion causes the blades to exceed their maximum angle of attack, therefore inducing a stall rather than sustained and stable compression.
