The “Allowable Boost Ratio”: A New Method of Knock Rating for Aviation Fuels of High Anti‐Knock Value

Abstract

THE fact that the anti‐knock rating of aviation fuels in octane numbers presents difficulties, especially above 80 octane, has led us to develop a more suitable test method for aviation fuels, which might be called the “Allowable Boost Ratio ” method.
