So I slid to the back of the plant there in Jackson, Mississippi, and I found my love, which was called the test engineering test cell. What was that? Imagine a room, not much bigger than the little studio we're in right now, And you have a huge motor running a jet fuel pump. And you have a lot of pipes all over the room mocking up a fighter jet wing.

It doesn't look like a fighter jet wing, but to the hydraulics, the fluid thinks it's in a fighter jet wing.

Yeah, why are you here? Yeah, exactly. Get out of my way.
