Which risk increases when a jet engine turbine exceeds operational stall speed?

A)Compressor surge causes flow reversal
B)Blade creep causes elongation failure
C)Flameout causes combustion instability
D)Thermal shock fractures combustor liners

💡 Explanation

Compressor surge increases because stall speed exceeds the design limits for maintaining stable airflow. This flow disturbance causes turbulent backflow, rather than efficient compression, therefore disrupting normal operations, causing potential engine damage.
