    This is an engine from a Chinese airlines passenger plane. It was grounded in Germany when the anti-windmill fix was noticed by ground crew. Looks like the chinese mechanics had disabled the engine and used belts to keep the fan from spooling. I can't understand WHY, the blades look like brand new!
