Description:NASA SP-3037FOREWORDNo other chemical propellant has excited more enthusiasm, more fear, more controversy, and less use than fluorine. Wildly cycling interest has spanned 20 years. There are people who have worked long with it and believe in its potential. There are those who decry the advantages available, and there are others who oscillate with the waves of enthusiasm for its use.But fluorine has not changed. Its promise, behavior, and danger have remained consistent while engineers ]lave come to understand it. Its promise has been repeatedly confirmed by high performance in rocket engine testing. Its behavior is all that can be expected from a source of high energy. Its danger is not of the unexpected and unexplained kindcharacterized by instability but is predictable and can itself be combated by fluorine's own characteristics.Engineering understanding is the subject of this volume with the purpose to enlighten through the exposure of experience. Enlightenment may yet lead to the use of fluorine in rockets. The role of fluorine has still to reach fulfilhnent.HOWARD V.
