Development of High-Energy-Density Liquid Aerospace Fuel: A Perspective

Abstract Aerospace aircraft has significantly improved the life quality of human beings and extended capability space explosion since its appearance in 1903, which liquid propellants or fuels provide key power source. For jet fuels, property energy density plays an important role determining flight range, load, performance aircraft. Therefore, design fabrication high-energy-density (HED) attract more attention from researchers all over world. Herein, we briefly introduce development HED demonstrate future fuels. To further improve fuel, approaches construction multi-cyclic stained molecule structures are proposed. break through limit hydrocarbon addition energetic nanoparticles to produce nanofluid gelled may a facile effective method increase density. This work provides perspective for advanced aircrafts.
