HYPERGOLIC SYSTEMS: A REVIEW IN PATENTS. doi: 10.5028/jatm.2012.04043812

Journal of Aerospace Technology and Management, 2012
Hypergolic reactions may be useful in civil and military applications. In the area of rocket propulsion, they constitute a potential field due to the reduced wheight and complexity of fuel injection systems, allowing yet controlled use of the propulsors.
