How do you test an engine which is to be run 18 hours a day, over a period of four years, after which it is overhauled and parts replaced as a matter of course as part of the design ? And then do it for a population count of a few thousand engines to get all the performance flaws which only appear after tens of millions of miles ?
Put every engine on an aircraft wing and fly it around empty for fours years and then only put it on a passenger aircraft ?
Clearly, you have no idea what you're talking about in the context of aerospace and think you're buying something like a fridge.
