Fortunately for us, we have a testbed and a proving ground much, much closer to Earth.

幸运的是， 我们有一个离地球近得多的试验台和试验场。

Indeed, both Airbus and Boeing are known to  add on a different engine to testbed aircraft.

事实上，众所周知，空中客车公司和波音公司试机不同的发动机。

The 757 testbed aircraft has been at the forefront of some significant tests performed by  Honeywell Aerospace over the years.

多年来，757 试验台机一直处于霍尼韦尔航空航天公司进行的一些重要试的最前沿。

But it was kind of a testbed for some new technology, including four-wheel drive in a supercar, which has now pretty much become standard fare.

但它实际上成一些新技术的试验平台，包括超级跑车中的四轮驱动技术，这项技术如今几乎已成标配。

The now 38-year-old airplane joined Honeywell  in 2005 with the registration N757HW. Joe Duval, Director of Flight Test Operations at  Honeywell, calls the aircraft a generic flying testbed.

这架现年 38 岁的机于 2005 年入霍尼韦尔，注册号 N757HW。霍尼韦尔行试运营总监 Joe Duval 将这架机称通用行试验台。
