← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a turbofan engine's variable stator vanes remain fixed during flight?
A)Compressor stall and surging✓
B)Turbine blade over-temperature
C)Fuel injector nozzle coking
D)Inlet ice accretion likelihood
💡 Explanation
Compressor stall and surging risk increases because fixed vanes disrupt airflow's angle of attack, exceeding the stall limit of the compressor blades; therefore, stall occurs disrupting pressure, rather than optimal flow control with correctly angled vanes.
