Engine Test.

So this isn't directly related to Area 51, but I thought you guys might be interested and have some input.
On Tuesday I just happened to be using ADSB Exchange to see what was flying around Southern California and happened to catch a 747 which is leased to GE that they use for engine testing. The interesting thing though was that it was flying low in a racetrack pattern over the area just northeast of Edwards where the have the low altitude SS corridor near Black Mountain. I checked again today, and it was flying over the China Lake MOA. I'm just wondering what they could be testing and if it's anything for the military. Or are they are just borrowing the airspace.

Any ideas?
