“The engine burns a
special T-6 high density fuel, with a freezing point of -62.2 deg C, a
flash point of 54.4 deg C and a density of 0.83, which is slightly
heavier than the USN JP-5 and USAF JP-6 high density fuels. At
supersonic speeds water/methanol mixture is injected into the inlet to
cool the compressor.
mmm if the water runout or stopped it would be all over , brave pilots indeed
