Typically, an engine is not run on the ground at high levels for but a minute or two since take-off occurs shortly thereafter. The ground is a very dirty area for a turbo jet engine and the particles drawn into the engine could drastically reduce it's life. Perhaps something other than an aircraft can be used. Larry
