Which risk increases within a turbofan engine when ice crystals accrete on inlet guide vanes, due to high altitude moisture?

A)Compressor stall propagating rapidly forward
B)Turbine blade creep from overheating
C)Combustor flameout from fuel quenching
D)Nozzle erosion due to particle impact

💡 Explanation

Compressor stall risk increases because ice accretion disrupts airflow, decreasing the surge margin. This promotes boundary layer separation near the blades leading edges, therefore stall is more likely, rather than creep from high temp or combustor issues with fuel.
