    The document discusses the operation of an aircraft engine compressor. It describes how the compressor forces and compresses airflow through the engine using blades and stators. It also discusses surge and stall conditions that can occur if the compressor is unable to properly compress the airflow.

    COMPRESSOR OPERATION
    The compressor forces the airflow through the engine increasing its
    pressure. The mechanical energy that the turbine provides to the
    compressor shaft is transmitted to the airflow with the compressor blades.
    In the stator the airflow is compressed progressively. Before entering the
    combustion chamber the last stator vanes, called Outlet Guide Vanes,
    must redirect the airflow.
    Due to the compression ratio the airflow tries to expand counter direction.
    If the compressor is incapable to compress the airflow, the compressor
    is surging.
    Stall is a local effect where the airflow is not compressed. Stall effects
    can bring the compressor to surge.
    To prevent the compressor surge the stall effects are controlled through
    the methods of airflow control. The Variable Stator Vanes (VSVs) and
    the variable bleed valves are used to optimize stall margin.
