The Elimination of Ozone Depleting Substances Associated with the F100 and F110 Engine Families

Increasing environmental requirements like the National Defense Authorization Act, Clean Air Act Amendments and various Executive Orders (E.O. 122856, E.O. 12780 and E.O. 12873) are constraining the continued use of hazardous materials and ozone depleting substances (ODSs). In compliance with these laws and Department of Defense policies including Secretary of the Air Force Policy Letter 94A-003, the Air Force has been actively engaged in developing replacements for ODSs, hazardous materials and processes. Funding constraints facilitated teaming arrangements between government agencies and contractors which has produced successful reduction programs. This paper documents results of hazardousmaterial reduction programs associated with the FlOO engine family produced by Pratt & Whitney and the FllO engine family produced by General Electric. The scope of the effort encompasses maintenance technical orders, qualification requirements, management strategy and metrics as well as efforts ongoing at the San Antonio and Oklahoma Air Logistic Centers. Conclusions include reductions in hazardous materials and ODS uses, teaming arrangements within government and industry, and the removal of ODSs requirements from technical documentation.
