It is of interest to determine the effect upon airplane performance of using only hydrocarbon fuel. Flight testing of airframe, engine and equipment and crev training as veil as soeie tactical missions can bsuctedore economical basis with the less exotic fuel;.

To accomplish the identical mission radius of the BBF equippedplaneuel load0 poundsake-off weight0 pounds. These numbersounds greater than tbe HKF * airplane. however, the basic airframe will accommodate the greater veight of fuel at the lesser average density because sufficient fuselage diameter end length have already been established by pay load and balance consideration*.

The increased take-off weight resultsake-off ground runeet* The landing weight is not affected so that the landing dlotenceeet. The initial penetration altitude iseet and the target altitude iseet, also by virtue of the increased flight weight. The performance is otherwise unaffected by the sole use ofuel.

It is noted at this point that the use ofxclusively docB not show up to be as muchisadvantage as might at first be expected. This comes about because the fuselage sixe and length required by payload and balance requirements can hold more fuel thanompatible with attaining
