Reference to Boron
editI think the reference to JP-6 containing boron is in error. My guess is that the confusion is caused by references to the J-93 engine in the XB-70, which was intended to be made in two variants -- one to work with conventional kerosene fuel, and one with a boron based fuel that provided more energy density. This would probably have been similar to the triethylborane used as a igniter in the J-58 engines used in the SR-71. This reference [1] describes JP-6 as a kerosene fuel, so I'm inclined to think that the boron reference in this article is in error.--Voodude (talk) 18:16, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
