← ScienceWhich consequence results when extreme backpressure occurs inside ramjet engines?
A)Unstarted engine operation is experienced✓
B)Increased fuel consumption is observable
C)Exhaust nozzle erosion accelerates rapidly
D)Compressor stall becomes highly probable
💡 Explanation
Ramjet backpressure causes an unstarted engine because the supersonic airflow slows, increasing pressure beyond operational limits, therefore the engine fails to ignite, rather than consuming more fuel or damaging compressor blades under these conditions.
