ABSTRACT:
A rocket propellant of improved Isp and thrust is provided by modifying a rocket fuel of RP-1 (a kerosene fraction). Such fuel is combined with an oxidizer (e.g. liquid oxygen, LOX) which defines a rocket propellant of the prior art. Such propellant is modified per the invention by addition to or replacement of, the RP-1 with quadricyclane. In another embodiment, quadricyclane is added to n-Hexane as a fuel composition which is then combined with an oxidizer to define a rocket propellant per the invention. The invention thus provides a number of rocket fuels which upon combination with an oxidizer, provides a high energy density propellant, which can permit increases of over 10 wt % in additional payload for rocket launch vehicles.
