Proud to say i worked for Airbus! :) Now KLM.

How are the bearings which support the main shaft?
-
I want to see homebuilt versions of this!

@MrTacos147 Allows a restricted air intake to simulate higher altitudes and flight levels. Essential to work out power ratings and engine stability. There's also a bunch of sensors in there to monitor induction noise, as well as a number of other things which I forget about.

@GreatWhite85 It straightens and smooths the intake air for the engine so test conditions are more consistent despite varying wind conditions.

@GreatWhite85 Sorry, I think you meant the larger sphere on the test bed. Just keeps debris and noise to a minimum.

@MrTacos147 So when they transport it the blades don't free spin and burn out the bearings and alike. If the blades are spinning w/o the engine on, stress is present without the generators pumping electricity to power the oil pumps and such and it can ruin an engine.

what's that ball thing they put over the intake for?
I am also proud to have such friend on my list.
