Liquid hydrocarbon air breather fuel
First Claim
1. A composition of matter having a density of about 1.020 gram/per cubic centimeter and a viscosity of about 8 centipoises at 20°
- C., a viscosity of about 154 centipoises at -40°
C. and a flash point of about 66°
C., useful as a fuel, consisting essentially of about 60 weight percent RJ-5, a production run fuel having as components at least two different isomers of perhydrodinorbornadiene, and about 40 weight percent JP-10, exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene.

Abstract
A high energy, high density synthetic liquid hydrocarbon fuel, RJ-6, is pared by blending 60 weight percent perhydrodinorbornadiene, a synthetic fuel known as RJ-5, and 40 weight percent exo-tetrahydrocyclopentadiene, a synthetic fuel known as JP-10. This fuel is particularly suitable for use in air launched ramjet engine applications such as aircraft missile systems. This new fuel substantially meets the desirable viscosity, energy content, and flash point of the previously employed synthetic fuel blend while exhibiting superior storage characteristics in elastomeric fuel systems used in missile applications.
