Travels of a Rocket Scientist.



A Rocket Scientist recently returned from NASA HQ and inquired about a notice he encountered on his flight home.
Printed on the Jet engine of the airplane

STARTER OVERRIDE ACCESS PANEL
CAUTION: Starter system must be pressurized during manual operation.


Does this mean the Jet engines can be crank started? Is this the job of the co-pilot? How much force does it take to turn over a jet engine?
