Axial-flow compressors have the following advantages:
-High peak efficiency.
-Small frontal area forgiven airflow.
-Straight-through flow, allowing high ram efficiency.
-Increased pressure rise due to increased number of stages with negligible losses.
They have the following disadvantages:
- Good efficiency over narrow rotational speed range.
-Difficulty of manufacture and high cost.
-Relatively high weight.
-High starting power requirements (this has been partially overcome by split compressors).

What is the disadvantages of centrifugal compressor?
A centrifugal pump cannot pump air, therefore cannot self prime, like a positive displacement pump.
Designing an axial fan for aircraft?
what do you mean? axial compressor (or) axial turbine? Their missions are different. Design for axial compressor or turbine, must be consider their performance. The performance is characterized by - pressure ratio, rotational speed and efficiency. The details of how to design axial fan, are very complex.
The frontal area of a centrifugal compressor as compared to axial flow compressor is larger or smaller?
the frontal area of a centrifugal compresor is more as compared to axial flow compressor for a given air flow. And for this reason axial compressors are being used in aircraft engines.
What are the disadvantages of a vane compressor?

Is axial flow gas turbine compressor is self propelled or some external power is provided?
no, it`s not , it also require some external power.
Disadvantages of centrifugal compressor in gas turbine?
This relationship is the reason advances in turbines and axial compressors often find their way cutaway showing an axi-centrifugal compressor gas turbine.
What is the disadvantages of centrifugal compressor?

The performance is characterized by - pressure ratio, rotational speed and efficiency. The details of how to design axial fan, are very complex.
Which type of rotary compressor used in gas turbine?
Rotating axial compressor.
What is axial velocity?
Axial velocity is the high pressures created by the pressure built up in a compressor. In a multi stage compressor this is usually very small.
The frontal area of a centrifugal compressor as compared to axial flow compressor is larger or smaller?
the frontal area of a centrifugal compresor is more as compared to axial flow compressor for a given air flow. And for this reason axial compressors are being used in aircraft engines.
What is the difference of an axial flow and centrifugal compressor?
The centrifugal flow compressor has a single or two stage unit using an impeller. The axial flow compressor is a multi-stage unit using alternate rows of rotating (rotor) blades and stationary (stator) vanes.
