I'm not sure how much of a problem that is. After all, the F-104 has
two 90° turns in the intake path and it seemed to manage quite well.
The only problem was that working on the front of the engine meant
either pulling it or getting a little person to crawl in through the
ducting. Lockheed was a major employer of little people for that very
reason.

....Grumman had one in particular who was in great demand by S/CAT
because he was small, had small fingers, but he could perform very
delicate work underneath the LM consoles that most of the other techs
found too difficut to reach. There's been mention of someone of that
stature at North American, but in neither case has the helpful Smurf
been revealed.
