     Although the LF₂-LH₂ cryogenic combination is hypergolic, the toxicity of the fuel and the products of combustion have made the use of this system impractical. In general, the commonly used hypergolic propellants are considered conventionally storable, that is, they do not need special refrigeration equipment to keep them liquid.

2. (chemistry, aeronautics, of a reaction) Involving such a hypergolic agent.
   • 1994, Stephen K. Hall, Chemical Safety in the Laboratory‎^[1], CRC Press, page 65:
