← TechnologyWhich risk increases when ice accumulates unevenly on an aircraft's turbine fan blades?
A)Compressor stall efficiency reduction
B)Increased fuel flow variability
C)Engine vibration and imbalance✓
D)Augmented thrust reverser deployment
💡 Explanation
Uneven ice accumulation raises the risk of engine vibration and imbalance because mass distribution changes during rotation initiate destructive resonances, therefore generating instability rather than consistent compressor behavior, differing from fuel flow or thrust issues.
