Which outcome occurs when thermal runaway in aircraft engines?

A)Exceeding material turbine temperature limits
B)Lubricant starvation to critical components
C)Decreased compressor surge margin
D)Flameout due to lean fuel condition

💡 Explanation

Exceeding temperature limits results from runaway because a positive feedback occurs where increased temperature causes increased combustion, thus causing further temperature rise. Material melting can weaken structural integrity, therefore component failure happens rather than other listed engine impairments.
