Abstract
The problem being faced is that there exists little data in a collective location surrounding aviation gasolines. In recent years it has been observed that most involved in the general aviation community are unaware of efforts and solutions underway to replace current leaded aviation gasoline. The point of this research was to collect and distill the history of aviation gasoline, some alternatives and their shortcomings, and indicate where the industry is headed. This information is divided into ten different chapters which is compiled into a book for students in the Purdue Aviation Technology Department. Following successful completion as a graduate project, the information will also be compiled in a formal textbook.
