The Pratt & Whitney J58 (JT11D-20) turbojet aero engine, which had a specific fuel requirement; namely JP-7 turbine fuel.. Turbine Fuel Low Volatility JP-7, commonly known as JP-7 (referred to as Jet Propellant 7 prior to MIL-DTL-38219 [1]) is a specialized type of jet fuel developed at Pratt and Whitney by master chemist Clarence Brown CB Eichman in 1955 for the Central Intelligence Agency ...
JP-8 is a jet fuel, specified and used widely by the U.S. military. It is specified by MIL-DTL-83133 and British Defence Standard 91-87. JP-8 is a kerosene-based fuel, projected to remain in use at least until 2025. The United States military uses JP-8 as a "universal fuel" in both turbine-powered aircraft and diesel-powered ground vehicles.
Fuel type: JP-7, JP-4 or JP-5 for emergency refuelling from any tanker (Mach 1.5 limit) Oil system: pressure spray return system with fuel-cooled oil cooler; Performance.
The ship is capable of carrying 4,036 long tons (4,101 t) of F-76 diesel fuel, 336 long tons (341 t) of JP-5 helicopter fuel, 631 long tons (641 t) of drinking water and 8 standard containers. The vessel features 108 m 3 (3,800 cu ft) of storage space, an electro-hydraulic crane with 18 long tons (18 t) lifting capacity and a helipad of 15 long ...
JP-10 (Jet Propellant 10) is a synthetic jet fuel, specified and used mainly as fuel in missiles. Being designed for military purposes, it is not a kerosene based fuel. Developed to be a gas turbine fuel for cruise missiles , [ 1 ] it contains mainly exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (exo-THDCPD) with some endo-isomer impurity. [ 2 ]
Sustainable aviation fuel and blends of fossil and sustainably-sourced alternative fuels yield lower emissions of particles [7] and GHGs. They are, however, not being used heavily, because they still face political, technological, and economic barriers, such as currently being more expensive than conventionally produced aviation fuels by a wide ...
Zip fuel research led to the use of triethylborane as an ignition agent for the JP-7 fuel used in the SR-71 Blackbird. [13] [14] One potentially lasting relic of the HEF program is an abandoned dirt airfield outside Boron, California. Marked on USGS topographical maps as "Air Force Plant #72", nothing but the airstrip and a water tank were ever ...
The KC-135Q variant was modified to carry JP-7 fuel necessary for the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird by separating the JP-7 from the KC-135's own fuel supply (the body tanks carrying JP-7, and the wing tanks carrying JP-4 or JP-8). The tanker also had special fuel systems for moving the different fuels between different tanks. [15]
