- Description
- A10 Wings have experienced negative issues with lesser quality bushings in the past which resulted in production down time and wasted funding. The A10 Structural Engineers authorized the best possible process and specified the use of FTI materials and tooling to ensure one-time installation and reduce flow days and failure rates. FTI uses the science of cold expansion to reduce installation flow-time instead of the usual shrink-fit or press-fit method. The use of ForecMate bushings results in high interference fit which provides for greater resistance to rotation or push out. No cryogenic materials are required so there is no moisture trapped to cause corrosion. No other providers are currently qualified to provide these particular ForceMate Bushings to the current specification. Fatigue Technology Inc. is the original manufacturer and fabricator for these particular ForceMate Bushings. The designs are proprietary designs of Fatigue Technology Inc. and therefore Fatigue Technology Inc. is the Sole Source provider for this requirement. These particular ForecMate bushings are required to be used in the A10 Wing panel hole repair process in accordance with T.O. 16C1-30-10-3 which calls for FTI ForceMate bushings specifically authorized by the Structural Engineers via AFMC Form 202 OO-MAB-2011-02278 and Memorandum referencing Engineering Disposition for A-10/ALL Wings Splice Fitting ForceMate Bushings
