FOD for thought
Priced at more than $3,700,000 each, a B-1 bomber’s engines and a variety of other vital parts – flight controls, ejection seats, cockpit controls and others – can easily become inoperative if an object finds its way into the wrong place. The primary method Ellsworth employs to prevent incidents like this from unfolding is the Foreign Object Damage program – a program designed to eliminate any foreign objects that can cause damage to aircraft and equipment.
