Thanks, didn't know that part.

More "just-in-time" techniques, I guess.

When you consider how expensive the components are, reducing interest charges is not insignificant. The interest on one $10,000,000 engine per month at 8% interest is $66,666.67. So installing all four engines on a 747 before they are needed would cost over a quarter million dollars a month just for interest payments.
