From Zero to Full Throttle: It Takes Tough Love to Test a Jet Engine

October 21, 2013
Tough love is one way to describe what Ray Staresina does to jet engines. Staresina is a “cell owner” at GE’s aviation boot camp deep in the woods outside Peebles, Ohio. His job is to expose new engines to extreme hardship beyond anything they are likely to encounter in service. His “cell” is a massive, 40-foot tall concrete box called Site 5C where some of the world’s largest jet engines must power through grueling tests required by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. “We bring in the engine, lock it in the frame and suspend it from the ceiling,” he says.
