A visitor from United States posted Sun March 27, 2011: Learned something: had no idea this was done, and if someone had told me jet engines were washed I would have laughed at them.
A visitor from United States posted Thu May 20, 2010: That is Kevlar - same thing that is in bullet proof jackets. Contains the fan blade within engine in case of blade failure.
A visitor from Japan posted Sat May 15, 2010: Interesting shot :) btw, it looks as if there is wood inside the engine cowling. look. there is like this orange-ish thing. is that wood or just metal that looks like wood because of the lighting?
A visitor from Mauritius posted Thu March 25, 2010: How come the water coming out at the back still looks clean? The last time I saw a vid of this of a 737, the water was really grimy.
A visitor from Canada posted Sat October 17, 2009: Thanks to the photographer, my education has been enhanced by seeing something done I did not know existed in practice.
A visitor from - posted Sun August 9, 2009: The fluids look a little like frozen precipitation. How cool would it be to have an MD-11 engine for a snow maker?
A visitor from - posted Tue February 3, 2009: I'm sure those fluids are being handled as toxic! Interesting shot as I have never seen an engine cleaned like that. Thanks

A visitor from Bahrain posted Tue February 3, 2009: They are cleaning the engine that's why many liquids spurt.It's part of the process
A visitor from Canada posted Tue February 3, 2009: Nice capture, they are doing a Compressor Wash from my experience.
A visitor from United States posted Mon February 2, 2009: Nice catch. i think it might the leftover water from an engine wash. the jet blast from ignition prolly just blew the rest of the water out. :]
A visitor from United States posted Mon February 2, 2009: From the color of the liquid, it looks like the MD-11F is lactose intolerant.
A visitor from - posted Mon February 2, 2009: Looks like a turbine wash, its done to help try to restore lost engine perfomance.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon February 2, 2009: They just cleaned it. ;-)
