I was reading the comments, on the Gizmodo post, about the engine start video (at the bottom). A lot of people didn’t really realize the significance of this, so I said I would write a short blurb about it.
Most turbine (not turbo-prop) aircraft start their engines from bleed air from the Auxiliary Power [...]
