If after a few years I still couldn't break it, then maybe in an airplane.
Ground testing is the expensive part. 2000 hours at 10GPH = 20,000
gallons at $4 each = $80,000. Nobody said it was cheap.


While I agree with the need to thouroughly test a unit, I do question the
need to do 2,000 hours, unless you are going for certification. Running it,
tearing it down occasionally and carefully inspecting (including
magnafluxing) will give you all the information you need for deciding
whether it is going to go the distance, IMHO.
