Split?

[edit]

Should this category be split? "Kerosene fuel" is not a significant distinction for rocket engines as it merges two significantly different groups: Kerosene and LOX (or possibly oxidisers) and hot HTP cycles with hydrogen peroxide and kerosene. Both of those are significant technical groups that merit categories. This cat though should be no more than an otherwise empty meta-category, if present at all.

More specific name, kerosene is only used as a fuel, not an oxidiser. "Propellant" should be reserved for monopropellants and hot cycle HTP rockets where the propellant acts as both fuel and oxidiser. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:32, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
