Which outcome results when a jet engine's turbine blades experience thermal creep?

A)Decreased turbine efficiency at high RPMs
B)Increased fuel efficiency during cruising
C)Lower NOx emissions mid-throttle ranges
D)Improved surge margin at high altitude

💡 Explanation

Thermal creep causes turbine blades to deform plastically under stress and high temperatures, diminishing aerodynamic profiles; fuel consumption rises, eroding turbine efficiency because blade geometry is compromised; therefore efficiency decreases, rather than stalls averted.
