Evaluation of four classes of thickened fuels eliminates canned-heat gels, viscoelastic Napalm type, and polymer-thickened fluids; emulsions-thickened fuels seem more compatible with aircraft systems; points of superiority include ease of removal from tanks, good atomizing properties in engines, and constancy of rheological properties over wide temperature range; recent work to develop emulsion safety fuels for helicopters and cargo planes has uncovered formulations containing at least 97% fuel; these emulsions appear to have good stability at -30 to 130 F; separation of JP-4 varies from 1 to 10% after several cycles of heating and cooling between these limits.
