    I thought Boron was a dead end because its oxide is liquid below 1,860 °C

      some more info

      https://www.marineinsight.com/shipping-news/china-builds-worlds-first-boron-ramjet-engine-to-launch-underwater-weapons-at-supersonic-speeds/

      looks like boron reacts with water at 700-800 C so maybe they run cooler in water to avoid liquid oxide?
