JP-10 fuel - (Jet Propellant 10), is a jet fuel, specified and used mainly as a gas turbine fuel in missiles. Despite being designed for military purposes, it is not a kerosene based fuel. It is a gas turbine fuel for missiles.[1] It contains mainly exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (a synthetic fuel), and adamantane. However, it is usually classed as a single component fuel, as well as a hydrocarbon.[2] It is produced by catalytic hydrogenation of dicyclopentadiene and then isomerization. It superseded JP-9 because of a lower temperature service limit.[1] Its main use is in the Tomahawk missiles.[3]
The Russian equivalent is called detsilin.
