Abstract :
The creation of a virtual maintenance capability within LMTAS (Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft System) for the F-16 programme has led supportability engineering into the world of virtual reality. Achievements in applying this technology are described. Insight is provided into the challenges met and benefits derived as a result of applying this emerging technology to real world requirements
