The Knock-Limited Performance of Several Fuels Blended with S-2 Reference Fuel

Abstract

Tests were made at the Cleveland laboratory of the NACA during October 1943 to determine the knock-limited performance of blends containing 80 percent of S-2 reference fuel and 20 percent of several exploratory fuels. The sole criterion for the selection of the fuels for this program was that the freezing and boiling points were within the desirable range for aviation fuels. The knock-limited performance of each blend was compared with the knock-limited performance of S-2 reference fuel.
