Which outcome limits scramjet performance at high Mach?

A)Decreased combustion efficiency
B)Turbine blade shear failure
C)Increased skin friction drag
D)Decreased air intake pressure

💡 Explanation

Decreased combustion efficiency limits scramjets because supersonic airflow inhibits flame holding; therefore, injected fuel may exit uncombusted due to insufficient residence time for complete oxidation rather than effective energy conversion.
