These data indicate that borane fuels have many props which are superior to those of JP-6. Comparison of the performance of a borane fuel with that of JP type, and using liq O as oxidizer, shows that a HEF increases the range of air-breathing engines or rockets by ca 50% over that obtd with a JP fuel in the same vehicle... 

In addition to the gravitation of Earth a rocket launched from earth must also overcome the air resistance of the atmosphere, which means that the rocket equation for such cases is only an approximation. Planes, RAM and SCRAM jets which are propelled by jet engines, transport their fuel with them, but they also suck air in and use the oxygen from the air for the combustion of the fuel. They only carry the fuel but not the oxidizer with them. The rocket equation is not valid for such vehicles, which are referred to as air-breathing engines. 

Use Synthesis of organic boron compounds and metal borohydrides, polymerization catalyst for ethylene, fuel for air-breathing engines and rockets, reducing agent, doping agent for p-type semiconductors.

The time to develop new high temperature single crystal nickel-hased superalloys with low rhenium content was reduced hy more than 50 percent (see R. Schafrik, Accelerating materials and process development. International Association of Air Breathing Engines, ISABE2009 paper ISABE-2009-1167, September 2009).
