FOD FOREIGN OBJECT DAMAGE OF AIRCRAFT F-105 THUNDERCHIEF 25714

Produced by Republic Aviation Corporation and in co-operation with Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, “Foreign Object Damage” (aka Foreign Object Debris ) is a short film presented by the Aeronautical System Division, Air Force Command; Tactical Air Command; and Mobile Air Material Area, Air Force Logistics Command. The film discusses the issues with foreign object damage (FOD) to aircraft and what the US Air Force is doing to combat the problem. The short film begins with a shot of three F-105 Thunderchiefs flying through the sky (00:32), a jet landing (00:48), and a replacement engine being installed (01:17).
The aircraft shown at 1:06 is FH-719, from the 335th TFS/4th TFW "The Chiefs". Most likely this indicates that the film was shot at Eglin AFB in Florida, since the 335th was based there and operating the Thud starting in May 1959. At that time the unit was the first squadron in the Air Force to receive the F-105 Thunderchief, transitioning from F-100s.
FOD is the number one cause for jet overhaul and is a significant financial burden to the US Air Force. Foreign objects that damage these powerful engines include aircraft and engine hardware (02:45), maintenance tools (02:51), miscellaneous personal effects (02:56), and runway debris including stones and gravel (03:01). Foreign objects move through the engine and can cause significant damage, starting with the compressor blades (03:15). Measures to prevent FOD begin with the manufacturer and aircraft assembly lines (04:13). FOD prevention starts with an initial inspection (04:23), followed by more inspections-such as inserting a borescope tool into an inspection port (04:47)-and preventative measures such as placing covers over the engines (04:38). These measures are taken to keep foreign objects out of not only aircraft engines, but all other parts of the aircraft as well, including wing assemblies (05:27). Efforts are made to prevent FOD during hanger and flight line operations (07:17), and frequent inspections and cleanings of all ramps, taxiways, and runways are standard protocol (07:39). To pinpoint the primary source of FOD, the Air Force establishes a full-scale test program to evaluate suspected causes (08:02). Ground tests (08:32), standard gun-firing tests (09:02), aborted take-off tests (09:18), and vortex tests (10:03) are conducted to evaluate FOD. However, it is the jet wake that is determined to be the primary cause of the problem, as jet exhaust from a lead aircraft sends debris into the engine air intakes (11:20) of a trailing aircraft. By examining the tail-to-duct distance (12:38), the Air Force then determines how to avoid this cause of FOD and restricts jet blasts during ground operations. Other procedures are still in place, such as taking inventory of all maintenance tools (14:57), to avoid any and all FOD so the Air Force can keep its aircraft combat ready.
The Republic F-105 Thunderchief was a supersonic fighter-bomber used by the United States Air Force. The Mach 2 capable F-105 conducted the majority of strike bombing missions during the early years of the Vietnam War; it was the only U.S. aircraft to have been removed from combat due to high loss rates. Originally designed as a single-seat, nuclear-attack aircraft, a two-seat Wild Weasel version was later developed for the specialized Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) role against surface-to-air missile sites. The F-105 was commonly known as the "Thud" by its crews.

    I was a brand new weapons mechanic assigned to my first duty station in 1961 when I arrived at a base operating the F-100. The first day on the job, a coworker took me to the coffee shop in the hangar on the way back from a visit to the flight line. On the wall was a large sign: PREVENT FOD. When I asked what FOD was, everybody snickered. When the base began the transition to the F-105 later in the year, we all thought that the height of the F-105 placed the intakes high enough to make FOD a lesser problem. We soon learned differently.

    In my first year in a Navy A7 E squadron I learned a lot about FOD, how to prevent it and myself from becoming it. A7s have a huge, low intake that loves sucking things up. One of the things we used for tool control was specialized tool boxes. Each task had a list of tools needed for it, The worker signed out that set of tools. When opened each tool was fit into a Styrofoam cut out that made it very easy to spot a missing tool. All tools were marked permanently so if a missing tool was found it could be replaced and the person that lost it identified.

    @NotaVampyre In the Israeli Air Force, each and every tool has a long serial code permenantly engraved on it. The code identifies the issuing tool room. The iron clad rule is, every tool that's issued out of a tool room is loged in a diary, including the tail Nr. of the inended jet. So if it's not returned, that's the first place to look. One time we had a mising hammer that could not be located. Eventually the whole base was grounded. Turns out the hammer had slipped inbetween the double skin of a Phantoms underbelly pannel, right under the engine. The hammer had wedged itself tight, and required forcfully fishing it out. Can't imagine the amound of damage a hammer would do.

    I was performing a max power ground run on a turbofan engine mounted on a test bed once. On this aircraft the engine intake was located around 15 feet above the ramp. The ground crewman’s inter-phone cord was actually lifted off the ground and sucked into the intake. Fortunately the damage was limited to the stators just behind the fan. After that we always secured the inter-phone cord with a weighted bag. When the humidity was high, one would often see a condensation vortex streaming off the ramp in into the intake.

    On aircraft carriers, there is a FOD, or Foreign Object Debris walk down, to reduce the risk of damage to the engines. In some instances someone would place a known object beneath a tire or a pad eye. If no one found it, the walk down would happen again after some excoriation. In any case, FOD can mean different things. U.S.S. Midway (1977-‘79)

    Somewhere on youtube is a soviet military pilot comparing their planes with those of the USA, He said the US built planes like fine watches, the Russians built flying tanks. We did FOD sweeps on the apron and taxiways, Their bases look deserted, abandoned, piles of junk. Their A/C designed (with low air intakes) take off roll is with air entry at the top of the fuselage. It then switches to scoop intake after gaining some altitude. These philosophies have historical roots. Which is better?, It depends on the combat. However, I think trying to have the F35 do the Warthogs job has more to do with money than practical experience. Hope I survive long enough to see robot wingmen and laser weapons on fighters. But not long enough to see ALL of this stuff thrown into a big war. Yes I am a vet, USAF and USN. Avionics and HF DF.

    NOTE THE RARE ENGINE CHANGE FOOTAGE INCLUDING THE TAIL INSTALLATION. Quality color maintenance footage isn't common but without maintenance aircraft are just static displays. This also demonstrates how labor-intensive much of the work was (and some still is). The crepe paper (chosen because like walnut shells engines can digest it should it fail) tuft tool is elegantly simple too. Young maintainers (and engineers) should watch these for interesting insights on how their predecessors did their tasks.

    These were the old days, when quality control was in its infant state. Quality control starts when design starts, when the the metal ore is dug out of the ground, when the people involved in the total production line are educated. Quality control never stops. Inspection is done during all parts of the build of all parts until the final product is assembled. Procedures, maintaining control of all parts delivered to build and manufacturing must be in place. All material, tools and supporting parts as simple as a cloth for cleaning oil, - everything, interring the build should be accounted for. Log all parts interring and exiting the workplace. Check against the product plan and find parts missing: The parts that was not used as part of the assembly should be checked out after the end of this assembly process. It is laborious, but it one of more, necessary process to make a safe product. Everybody that have worked in the industry should know that. Guess my line of business for the last 40 years. You will probably guess wrong :-) My regards to all the people who perform to security standards in their daily work and make our world a safer place to live in. It is not all about airplanes.

Look up the story of the Johansson gauge blocks, and the difference they made in WWII armaments production, for a start. Also, all of the foreign object control techniques you see in this film were well established during WWII aircraft production.

    They are D models, but I could not see enough detail to tell what series, or RE number as they were identified. I worked on the F-105D from October 1961 through the end of 1963, and every thing I see in this film looks to be of the period. F model deliveries began in 1963, and I do not see any of them. If I had to guess, I would say 1962 or 1963, and the footage was shot at Republic's home field at Farmington, Long Island.

    I hate it when some idiot says " a ten thirty seconds bolt" Firstly, it's called a ten thirty two screw. The thirty two means thirty two threads per inch. It's a measurement of the pitch of the screw thread. The ten stands for the wire size of the diameter of the screw (#10 is ,I think, .198 diameter). So saying ten thirty seconds like it's a measurement is wrong and .198 inch is much to small to be a bolt or have a hex head.

    Sorry you don't know your hardware. There is no such thing as a threaded fastener that is too small to have a hex head and to be called a bolt. A bolt is a fastener that is placed in a hole in material and secured by a fastener. Both bolt and fastener are usually threaded, but not always. A screw is a threaded fastener that screws directly into the material to be fastened. The threads may be cut into the material before the screw is installed, or the screw may cut its own threads as it is installed. Modern fasteners are innovative and may not fit exactly into old categories, but when I got my A&P license in 1965, aviation regulations specified the 10-32 fastener as the smallest to be used as a structural fastener in an airframe.

    I've seen tiny bolts that was way smaller than 10-32 screws. You should see some of the scale modeling sizes of scale bolts with hex heads. Buf there's a size difference between a ship and a boat and a screw and a bolt. Size matters. And a 10-32 is usually described as a bolt in assembly manuals. Most people can't visualize the inch scale and figure out that 1/2 is smaller than 9/16. Familiarity breeds lackadaisical sloppiness. I don't even want to talk about the metric system.

But in the industry, it is common vernacular to call any bolt smaller than 1/4” a machine screw. In fact oddly enough, we won’t just call it a machine screw, we will say it as, “hey, hand me two 8-24 machine screws”.

Away from engines, when I (yes a wheni story) when I was on C-130 Fat Alberts, we actually found something that could have really spoilt a pilots day, would give anything a nasty nip, guessed what it was?, no, ok, a baby alligator/crocodile, dead, but was definitely alive when it somehow founds it’s way into the aircraft, one aircraft came back with a loose article entry in the aircraft log book, magazine and 20 rounds of ammunition!!!, how it got lost is anyone’s guess, but if that got somewhere it shouldn’t, that would definitely ruin your day. Something I never understood about American military tool control, it always seemed like you grabbed a tool bag/box and of you went to do the job, come back, hand in tool bag and sign off the job, no shadow boards or tally system in use, a recipe for disaster, could someone explain just how the United States system worked in reality and how effective tool control was achieved?, thanks.
