Experimental data on performance and cooling from sea level and altitude firing tests of fluorine/oxygen mixtures with light-hydrocarbon fuels are presented; majority of work has been oriented toward pressure-fed rocket applications, with testing at 5000-lb vacuum thrust and 100-psia chamber pressure; work in progress is at chamber pressures of 250 and 500 psia, being oriented toward pump-fed rocket applications; one problem, unique to these propellants, is that performance at optimum mixture ratio is extremely sensitive to incomplete mixing.
