Like pilots, maintainers love raptor
Article Abstract:
The Raptor, despite its enormous complexities is easy to maintain and spends less time being fixed on the ground than current planes, and hence is available for more missions. The Raptor engine requires about five times fewer tools than the F100 on the F-15, and the engine system can be reached without pulling the engine out of the airplane, hence it has gained popularity among maintainers and pilots.
