In a turbojet engine at altitude, which consequence results when air density decreases with a fixed fuel flow?

💡 Explanation

Reduced air density with constant fuel increases the fuel/air ratio, driving up temperatures due to incomplete combustion; this higher fuel flow increases turbine inlet temperature because heat release is not matched by airflow, therefore, over-temperature occurs, rather than thrust increase, surge, or velocity drop.
