A couple of days ago, I saw a picture of a DC-8, i think, taking off,
trailing thick black smoke from the engines (they weren't on fire). The
description of the picture said that it was using water injection to give
more power for takeoff. I also came across this when reading about the
P-47.
How does that system work? I presume it's different for pistons and jets.

Triple Delta



Doesn't this have something to do with methanol fuels and water? Supposedly
water increases HP in methanol.
