Lack of information on spontaneous ignition in thermal environments typical of supersonic flight prompted Boeing Co to explore phenomenon with fuels and oils for use on supersonic vehicles; experimental method used to explore relationships between variables which govern process of spontaneous ignition at supersonic flight conditions; test results show that useful chemicals may exist that could reduce pressures resulting from spontaneous ignition to below structural load limits.
