A recirculation passageway for a turbine engine provides stall protection in a booster by directing high pressure airflow from a flow path of the booster to the passageway. The high pressure airflow loses energy and decreases in pressure while traveling through the passageway until re-entry into the booster flow path. The airflow recirculates in the passageway until the airflow is discharged through a high pressure compressor.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A turbine engine comprising:at least one compressor comprising a first passageway extending therethrough, said compressor comprising a plurality of stator vanes and a plurality of rotor blades extending into said first passageway, said compressor further comprising a stator casing and a plurality of rotor shrouds surrounding said stator vanes and rotor blades, said passageway further comprising a higher pressure portion and a lower pressure portion, each said rotor blade comprising a leading edge and a trailing edge; anda second passageway in flow communication with said first passageway, said second passageway extending from said higher pressure portion of said first passageway to said lower pressure portion of said first passageway, said second passageway comprising an inlet and an outlet, said inlet downstream from said outlet and located downstream of said rotor blade trailing edge and upstream an adjacent downstream stator vane.
