The overall and blade-element performance of a transonic compressor stage is presented over the stable operating range at rotative speeds from 50 to 100 percent of design speed. Stage peak efficiency of 0.784 was obtained at a weight flow of 28.6 kilograms per second and a pressure ratio of 1.706. Stall margin at design speed was 11.4 percent. The peak efficiency being significantly less than design efficiency was attributed to: (1) the stator loss and the radial gradient of losses being much higher than design, (2) the losses and blockages associated with the rotor part-span dampers not being incorporated into the design, and (3) mismatch of the rotor and stator badle elements.
