OK, as a former aircraft maintenance person in the USAF, I can promise that there is no access space for aircraft engines.

Aircraft engines are maintained while the aircraft is on the ground. Depending upon what is being fixed, access panels are removed (these are either part of the aircraft skin or they are fitted in someplace like the bomb bay, which require the aircraft to be on the ground) or the entire engine is removed from the aircraft and is sent to an engine maintenance shop.
