Trent 700 core wash
why do they strap the fan blades to the vanes preventing the LP comp and turbine from rotating during an engine core wash. wouldn't it be better to let the LP rotate for the cleanliness of the compressor/turbine along with the IP and HP ??

thanks

Edit: ok so it has no LP comp other than the fan blade, but still wouldn't the LP turbine rotating provide faster flow and suction to clean the guts out ? :P
