Which outcome results when increased jet engine thrust approaches the compressor stall boundary?

A)Reduced fuel consumption and optimal combustion
B)Blade flutter initiating resonant vibrations
C)Decreased nozzle exhaust gas velocity
D)Increased laminar airflow over turbine blades

💡 Explanation

Blade flutter initiates vibrations because when the adverse pressure gradient increases near stall, flow separation occurs, driving self-excited oscillations as an aeroelastic mechanism. Therefore, blade flutter and resonant oscillations initiate, rather than optimal airflow because stall affects the entire gas pathway.
