Lockheed and Boeing each made a series of tests in aircraft fuel tank simulators to provide an improved understanding of the flowability and pumpability of jet fuels at or below their freezing point where waxy components separate. Each simulator represented a section of an aircraft wing fuel tank. Tests simulated the low temperature cruise environment associated with long duration flights under extreme, high-altitude conditions. Holdup, the fraction of unavailable fuel remaining in the tank after attempted fuel withdrawal, was used to characterize pumpability after low temperature exposure. The test fuels were derived from widely differing crude sources and were selected to cover a range of freezing points. Two of the test fuels were common to the Boeing and Lockheed investigations in order to assess variability due to simulator construction. One fuel in the Lockheed program contained a flow improver additive. In the Boeing program, one fuel was a blend of JP-5 and 9% marine diesel fuel. (Author).

The low temperature performance of antimisting kerosene (AMK) in airframe fuel systems and in certain fuel system components was studied and compared to Jet A fuel. Water vapor ingested into fuel tanks during simulation of repeated descents through clouds and rain had little effect on AMK. AMK retained antimisting properties during exposure to severe environmental flight simulations. Jet pump and boost pump operation had no discernable effect on AMK flammability. Jet pump performance with AMK was adversely affected. Main fuel boost pumps required up to 18 percent more power with AMK that with Jet A, and suction feed performance was lower with ambient and -20 deg C, but better than Jet A and -40 deg C. Boost pump performance was not affected by gel formations produced at low temperatures by the vapor removal return flow shearing of AMK. Aerodynamic heating and cooling of AMK in the fuel tank was similar to Jet A.A high pressure pump and needle valve used to degrade the AMK was inadequate, resulting in filter bypass at low temperatures.

The reduction of the fire hazard of fuel is critical to improving survivability in impact-survivable aircraft accidents. Despite current fire prevention and mitigation approaches, fuel flammability can overwhelm post-crash fire scenarios. The Workshop on Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety was held November 19-20, 1996 to review the current state of development, technological needs, and promising technology for the future development of aviation fuels that are most resistant to ignition during a crash. This book contains a summary of workshop discussions and 11 presented papers in the areas of fuel and additive technologies, aircraft fuel system requirements, and the characterization of fuel fires.
