It's about reduction not elimination i.e. Tornado early 90s mods

They canted the room in photoshop though...

Company officials distorted the background of the photo to mask the proprietary capabilities of the chamber, but did not alter the image of the aircraft.

It's almost funny that the room the aircraft is in, is more secret than the aircraft :)
