Aside from the theatrical effect, the ring of lights on the ice generating chamber at #GE #Aviation in #Winnipeg, #Canada project much needed light onto the engines undergoing ice tests. Throughout the tests, GE engineers capture high speed photography to determine exactly how ice builds up on an #engine’s fan blades and spinner.
