Frozen fighter jet test centre-South Korea

[United]

The frozen fighter jet tested in icy conditions... in South Korea
Beneath its frozen shroud is the sleek shape of an old Phantom war jet.

The F-4E Phantom fighter stands in the climatic chamber of a £30million aerospace test centre in Seosan, South Korea.

Largely secret, the facility's doors were thrown open so South Korea could show off its advanced technology.



The equipment measures the operational capabilities of the country's military planes and vehicles in extreme weather conditions. The chamber's freezer bars can create the environment experienced by a plane at 40,000ft.

Visitors were invited to watch the process of a Snow and Freezing Rain Test at the 188,000-square-metre facility, after it was opened by Defence Minister Lee Sang-Hee today.

The £30million project to build the facility was established in 2003 with the help of Boeing, which offered related technology in accordance with its contract with Seoul on the sale of 40 F-15K fighter jets.

Lets see if SK can break the jet barrier(Uncle SAM)

The journalists werent put in the room at the same time as the jet. Once the airplane was frozen and reached the desired temperature, journalists were asked to go in and take pictures. Seriously, is it that hard? Common sense bhi use kar liya karo.
