A condition in an axial-flow compressor in which one or more stages of rotor blades fail to pass air smoothly to the succeeding stages. A stall condition is caused by a pressure ratio that is incompatible with the engine rpm. Compressor stall will be indicated by a rise in exhaust temperature, and if allowed to continue, may result in flameout and physical damage to the engine. An rpm change up and down will also usually result.
