Which airflow condition initiates compressor surge in gas turbine engines?

💡 Explanation

Compressor surge begins when significant regions surpass the fan's designed angle of attack. The blades stall due to stalled flow from the compressor stages due to the adverse pressure gradient, because the boundary layer separates, leading to flow reversal and therefore surge, rather than fuel or temperature issues.
