Cantwell B.J. Aircraft and rocket propulsion

1980 368 стр. NASA This is the final report of a study on the use of methane as a cryogenic fuel for subsonic transport aircraft. It covers not only the cost and performance implications relative to the aircraft, but· addresses the airport facility requirements for the liquefaction and storage of methane as a fuel supply. The work was done under contract NAS 1-15239 for the NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia. Mr. Robert D. Witcofski...
