Abstract

A reduction in the emission of infrared radiation by the engine of a jet aircraft can be achieved by employing a low molecular weight monohydric alcohol, having a luminometer number of at least about 200 as at least a portion of the fuel. Additional reduction in emission of infrared radiation can be achieved by passing a low molecular weight monohydric alcohol in indirect heat exchange relationship with the hot exhaust nozzle prior to its introduction to the combustion chamber of the engine.
