Bell's been grasping at straws over the V-22 when they said this so it is no surprise the 609 is a flop:

"Bell spokesman Bob Leder said compressor stalls in such engines were "really nothing."

"These kind of engine problems are very normal, not only within military aircraft, but in commercial aircraft," he said.
