RR Flight Tests
Has there been a flying test bed for the new giant engine for the A380 or does it have to be the first A300.?
Is anyone able to post the specifications for either or both test bed and installed?
Presume control is FADEC and idiot proofed.
Saw on TV RR doing a corn cob destruct by an explosive severence of a fan blade at max RPM.
Test was just to see that the casing could contain the corn and it did.
Incredible destruction of a new engine. Must be an easier less expensive method.
