Abstract
A highly destructive fuel-air type drop bomb which requires no retardation or restriction of its terminal velocity for efficient detonation; which utilizes a normally non-explosive, normally liquid fuel dispersed in air for its explosive power; which centrally carries a low brisance heaving type fuel dispersing explosive surrounded by the body of liquid fuel; which includes a proximity fuse to detonate the low brisance explosive to break the fuel container and to disperse the fuel into the surrounding air in minute particles to form an aerosol cloud of large volume and of substantially uniform density in close proximity to the target; and which carries a time delay detonator for detonating the aerosol cloud after it has formed.
