What if we need new SR 71 fuel?
How would shell oil making more JP-7 fuel;( If needed)
it was developed by Shell Oil and chemist Clarence Brown Eichman in 1955.
Lockheed's Skunk Works team, led by Kelly Johnson, designed the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird to use specialized fuel, but petroleum refiners handled chemical production entirely.
Why JP-7 Was Needed
• Extreme Heat: At Mach 3+, air friction heated the aircraft skin to over 600°F. Normal jet fuel would have boiled or spontaneously detonated.
• Heat Sink: Lockheed engineers used the stable JP-7 as a coolant. It absorbed heat from the engines, hydraulics, and avionics before being routed to the burners for thrust.
• High Flash Point: JP-7 was so stable that dropping a lit match into a puddle of it would extinguish the match.
How It Was Produced
• Petroleum Refining: Shell Oil manufactured the high-flashpoint, low-volatility kerosene blend to meet military specification MIL-DTL-38219

One of the great things about the internet is that if you don't know what something mentioned here is or how to use it - they're's a ton of tutorials on the internet and you can learn valuable skills from your air conditioned couch 🛋️
That said, getting hands on experience is also important.
Prepare accordingly...
