Default RE: WATER IN GLOW FUEL

The B-52 uses eight Pratt & Whitney TF33-P3 turbofans, with a water injection system to assist on takeoff. The water injection adds approximately a 17% increase to the takeoff power, also leaving the runway covered in a dense smoke screen.


This may not apply to glow fuel but for everyone that thinks water is such an enemy (think again)
