"We are obviously not proposing that rocket manufacturers or jet companies start thinking about using toffee to fuel their engines but they could consider more environmentally-friendly materials," said Ray Wilkinson, Principal Lecturer in Aerospace Design and Rocket Propulsion at the University.    (source: herts.ac.uk)
