TheF-16 uses hydrazine to fuel the emergency power unit s.
Hey:
Last week, (I think) I read one of these whe re an F-16 made an emergency landing (in Madison, WI) with hydrazine aboard . That seems incredibly strange to me. Would anyone in the collective have an idea of why an F-16 would be carrying hydrazine? I assumed it was in the crew compartment but the news story was typically sketchy. Hydrazine is an ingredient in l iquid rocket propellant but this still doesn=92t make sense.
Any ideas?
Deb.
