  • Patent number: 4095528
    Abstract: A vehicle driven by a combustible fuel propulsion system, in which the fuel emaining upon arrival at the target is exploded to act as a warhead. The vehicle has a fuel tank incorporated into the structure, which will hold more than enough fuel to complete the mission. The residual fuel is atomized into the vacant space in the fuel tank and mixed with air or oxygen, which can be used as the driving agent for the atomization. The fuel/air mixture is then detonated. The fuel tank may be thin walled for maximum blast effect, or be of heavier structure which is grooved for fragmentation.
