Technology & Innovation - A New Way To Test Plane Engines


A new life for old and obsolete planes has arose recently with many of the major Aviation engine development companies buying old planes as a way of testing their engines before adding them to the new concept which if any goes wrong will save a lot of money and lives. This is because on new models a team has to go on the test flight as its a new system and not everyone knows it but with this method everything is stripped away making it so any pilot can fly it on their own then escape easily if anything went wrong. All the airline companies around the world are said to introducing these new more powerful, faster and more efficient engines in their aircraft over the new few years so I feel this testing is vital to ensure they are successful and work correctly. This can also be related to the environment and even the main contributors to the greenhouse problem with their large c02 emitting planes can make small changes such as reusing things to cut down the time, effort and money that goes into making a set of new planes which in tern will harm the planet even more through the high energy manufacturing methods.
