T-Stoffとは 意味・読み方・使い方

T-Stoff (80% concentrated hydrogen peroxide / 20% oxyquinoline) was the oxidizer part of a bipropellant rocket fuel combination used in Germany during World War II. It is a stabilized high test peroxide. One of its uses was to be combined, as the oxidizer, with C-Stoff (methanol-hydrazine mixture) as the fuel, in the Messerschmitt Me 163 and Messerschmitt Me 263, at a ratio of three parts C-Stoff fuel to one part T-stoff oxidizer. Because the two substances were so visibly similar, a complex testing system was developed to make sure that each propellant was put into the correct tanks of the Messerschmitt Me 163. This was because T-stoff and C-stoff are hypergolic propellants: they spontaneously ignite when mixed. Mistakenly attempting to fill a T-Stoff oxidizer tank with the C-Stoff fuel, or vice versa, on an Me 163 could very easily cause the aircraft to explode.
