F-16 FIGHTING FALCON BACKFIRE DURING DISPLAY

Engine FAILURE?
During the display of this Belgian Air Force F-16 the engine suffered most probably a compressor stall*, which lead to a "safety landing". In the end everything went well. #AIRPOWER16

*A compressor stall in a jet engine is a circumstance of abnormal airflow resulting from the aerodynamic stall of aerofoils (compressor blades) within the compressor. This occurs when the angle of attack of the blades of the compressor exceed their critical angle of attack resulting in one or more stages of rotor blades failing to pass air smoothly to the succeeding stages.
