Engineering and Technical
Keeping the RAF flying high
How can RAF Typhoon Pilots reach speeds over twice the speed of sound? How can Weapons System Operators be sure that the images they collect in the air are accurate – or Search and Rescue teams know that the life rafts they drop are going to save lives?
Engineers and Technicians – that’s how.
From aircraft gear boxes to ground-based automatic pistols, from fire engine parts to portable generators, the RAF’s dedicated arm of Engineers and Technicians take up a third of RAF jobs, and are in charge of the RAF’s extensive range of combat, peacekeeping and life-saving equipment.
