I don’t think they are thrashing the engines, isn’t it a test script?
I bought a new aircraft engine from the factory and waited 8 weeks while it was being built. The test paperwork came with the engine. The engine was ran on a test stand for almost an hour, my $38k engine was ran at 200 RPM above red line twice during the test, both times for several minutes. Beats something breaking on the first takeoff.
I was in the car with him while he went through the sequence. It ran a short test sequence and he then manually redlined it multiple times. Every car goes through it. He told me it's totally fine and with all the computer controls the car knows what it can and cannot handle. It was a wild experience.
