A brief combustion study of three boron-containing fuels was made in a 1/4 sector of an annular turbojet combustor. The three fuels were Hi-Cal-3, HEF-2 (primarily propylpentaborane), and a solution of 63 percent by weight pentaborane in JP-4 fuel. The combustion efficiencies of the three fuels were between 90 and 95 percent. A photographic comparison of deposits in the combustor is presented.

This report consists of a brief history of US military fuels for aircraft turbine jet engines and ramjet engines. The report discusses the requirements of past and current US military jet fuel specifications, when and why the specification requirements originated, and the importance of these requirements today. The purpose and origin of the various specification test methods are presented, and an extensive discussion of jet fuel additives is provided. This report should be of value to anyone involved in research and development, logistics, and use of jet fuels. We hope that it will serve as a handy reference for the jet fuel specialist.

Flights have been made with an airplane in icing conditions in order to test the effect of exhaust heat applied to the wings as a means of preventing ice formations. Other ice-prevention equipment, including an exhaust gas-heated pitot-static head, hot-air-heated windshield, and an inflatable de-icer of recent design, were also tested.
