Hmmmm .... So if I buy it, disassemble it and scan everything into the CAD/CAM computer via a 3D-XYZ high resolution laser scanner that goes to sub-micron-levels of accuracy, I could do some finite element analysis (FEA) on the all the parts including the turbine/compressor blades, some aerodynamic flow simulations and some final modifications and engine design improvements AND THEN I could then 3D-Print and/or CNC-machine out all-new-titanium parts and fitting to make that engine TWICE or even THREE TIMES as powerful than before AND CLEANER BURNING!

750 000 pounds you say? That's about $1 200 000 CAN ..... Hmmm... we just might be able to swing that from our Incidental Projects Fund ! I'll ask the heads on Monday to see if they want to bid on it!
