Talk:Hypergolic fuel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Surely that should be Aniline-Nitric acid, not Hydrazine-aniline? PML.

"... the trend in ICBMs has been to move toward solid fuel boosters."

Oh man, this sounds almost sarcastic to me. There are trends in ICBMs, really? What's hot this year, haha.

Not funny. -- .~.

Article talks about "hyperbolic" engine. That's probably incorrect, but someone who actually knows should make the edit.

[edit] 4th Paragraph

The fourth paragraph opens with the sentence: "They are less likely to explode when starting." But the previous sentence refers to both Solid Fuels and Hypergolic Fuels - so which is less likely to explode? I assume Solid Fueled rockets because the article implies they're more stable, but I'm not a rocket scientist.

The article for hard start seems to focus on hypergolic fuels, so I would assume that they are more likely to explode than solid fuels. Solid propellants should not explode if the nozzle opening is sufficiently large to prevent a buildup of pressure inside the engine. I suppose a hypergolic engine could explode if the components were mixed too quickly, in the wrong proportions, etc. I am not going to make any changes until we can get a source. --71.227.190.111 00:45, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Linking to disambiguation pages

Perhaps the disambiguation page was created after this, but I'm so tired of articles linking to disambiguation pages, when it clearly should be linked to an article. Anyway, I linked MMH properly, and not to a disambiguation page.
