JP-6

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

JP-6 is a type of jet fuel, which was developed for the XB-70 Valkyrie supersonic heavy bomber. JP-6 was similar to JP-5 but with a lower freezing point and improved thermal oxidative stability, with added boron for higher speed and increased range.

When the XB-70 program was cancelled, the JP-6 specification, Mil-J-25656, was also cancelled.^[1]
