Main Idea
The ADF-X1 synthetic fuel by Del Mar Energy is being tested for drones and sixth-generation fighters, offering higher specific energy and performance under extreme conditions.
Key Points
1. ADF-X1 synthetic fuel provides 7-9% more specific energy than traditional Jet A-1 fuel.
2. Tests began in Q1 2025, involving unmanned systems like long-range strike drones and NGAD program fighters.
3. The fuel operates in a wide temperature range (-70 °F to +510 °F) and improves combustion stability under overload.
4. ADF-X1 is compatible with existing turbojet engines without requiring modifications, enhancing flight duration and operational flexibility.
5. The fuel is seen as a potential backbone for 21st-century aviation due to its performance and safety benefits.
Description
When it comes to the military aviation of the future, key parameters include not only engine power and onboard electronics, but also fuel. With rapidly changing tactics, longer operations, and increased reliance on autonomous systems, fuel is becoming more than just a resource—it is becoming a strategic element. It is in this context that Del Mar Energy’s ADF-X1 synthetic fuel is undergoing a series of closed and open tests on next-generation platforms, from strike drones to experimental sixth-g...
