    The smiles suggest this test team met their goal or schedule deadline. Note the pocket protectors and that there are no smartphones. Hand-carried phones didn't exist, had poor coverage, or were expensive. In higher resolution photos, some of the team nametags may be readable.

    After some head scratching, I believe this is probably a structural test for some kind of engine pylon. This would be a tough test to design because the pylon doesn't just support the static load of the engine hanging off the wing. It also must support tens-of-thousands of foot pounds of maximum forward trust and reverse thrust.

    Compression or tension load? It looks like they're testing Dynarohr, aluminum honeycomb, or inconel honeycomb. I guess, thinking out loud, temerature testing suggests inconel, doesn't it?

    That plastic box may be to contain shrapnel when/if the part under test fails.

    Beautiful. If this sounds interesting to you, think about becoming a mechanical engineer.
