Definition

Noun: 1. Fuel-Air Explosive: A powerful explosive device that functions in two stages. First, it disperses a fine aerosol of fuel into the air. Second, it detonates this fuel-air mixture, creating a massive blast wave and intense heat over a large area.

Usage
  • The military used a fae to clear a large minefield, as its blast wave can detonate explosives over a wide area.
  • The destructive power of a fae comes from the rapid combustion of the fuel cloud, which consumes the surrounding oxygen.
Advanced Usage
  • FAE is also a common initialism for this term, often used in technical and military contexts.
  • The term is sometimes used generically to describe the class of weapons or the blast phenomenon itself, not just a single device.
Variants and Related Words
  • Thermobaric Weapon: A broader technical term for weapons that use oxygen from the surrounding air to generate a high-temperature explosion, encompassing FAE devices.
  • Vacuum Bomb: A common informal name for such weapons, referring to the partial vacuum created by the rapid consumption of oxygen during the explosion.
Synonyms
  • Fuel-air bomb
  • Thermobaric bomb (in specific contexts)
  • Aerosol bomb
Related Phrases
  • FAE effect: The characteristic blast and thermal effect produced by this type of weapon.
  • Dispersion and detonation: The two-phase operating principle of a FAE.
Noun
  1. a device consisting of a container of fuel and two explosive charges; the first charge bursts open the fuel container at a predetermined height and spreads the fuel in a cloud that mixes with atmospheric oxygen; the second charge detonates the cloud which creates an enormous blast wave and incinerates whatever is below
