Delta Air Lines has constructed what it calls the world’s largest jet engine test cell, a facility next to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport that Delta says will help expand its engine maintenance business.

The new facility is the first to be built by a U.S. airline in more than 20 years, according to Atlanta-based Delta, which spent more than $100 million to build it and prepare it for operations. The massive noise-insulated concrete facility that sits next to the Atlanta airport airfield is used to test-run a jet engine at full power.
