← ScienceWhich risk increases when helicopter rotor tip speed exceeds a critical value in humid air?
A)Cavitation damages rotor surfaces
B)Compressibility induces shock stall✓
C)Viscosity reduces the effective lift
D)Turbulence decreases engine combustion efficiency
💡 Explanation
Increasing rotor speed raises the Mach number near blade tips, therefore Compressibility induces shock stall because local supersonic flow creates shock waves rather than viscosity inducing stall; turbulent combustion affects piston planes.
