Glad you got an answer Jess - looked at the training poster in college today (yes, we have such things including a cutaway of an Allision turboprop engine) and it wasn't on it. Interesting stuff -

There is a lot of this kind of thing going on in all kinds of places. One example is in the field of "alternative energy" where trolling for government grant money is the primary activity and often almost literally the only source of revenue and there is no reasonable expectation of either technical nor particularly financial success. At some point, when the cat is out of the bag over the impracticality of what is being pursued and having distributed masses of grant money as bonuses to the company principals, they quietly go bankrupt and slink off into the night.

Research project. Interestingly enough I have just read a piece about research (in the railway industry, but still applicable): "If you have a good idea and put it forward to Future Railway/RSSB [or whoever], they could take a share of your profits if it is a success. Your idea could go out to tender, suggesting that people who don't necessarily understand much about it, but offer a lower price to develop it, could get to develop it. Could you therefore lose your intellectual property to someone who probably won't make a success of it, and if they do will you get paid? ... Now cons
