If the USN were worried about the fuel ignition issue, why did they operate the Douglas Skyraider and Grumman Tracker from carriers for so long?
Why did they, and other navies operate reciprocating engine helicopters from carriers for so long?
USN wanted reciprocating engines, and their explosive avgas off carriers for a long time.Why have two different fuel types?
Skyraiders lasted so long because its replacement, the Skyshark, had too many problem with it's powerplant.
While you had to have fuel for the Skyraider, why not keep the Stoof and Huskys around?
