I think it's great, I just don't understand why they operate them
Maybe the Japanese Aviation Authority have some 'quirky' rules that require them to be able to stay airborne in the event of an engine failure?

SJ, I think you are right! Novel way of doing it - conventional wisdom is to leave the GPU outside the disc for the start, and take the power cable to the aircraft!
