Which risk escalates when a high-bypass turbofan engine's bleed air system excessively cycles?

A)Compressor stall propagation increases rapidly
B)Turbine blade creep accelerates non-linearly
C)Combustion chamber flameout risk grows
D)Fuel injector fouling reaches a threshold

💡 Explanation

Repeated cycling of the bleed air system initiates flow instabilities, triggering stall. Boundary layer separation increases, leading to compressor stall propagation because the surge margin erodes; therefore recovery diminishes rather than sustaining steady operation, which also prevents flameout.
