Hate to sound stupid but what is a Fuel Air Explosion?

haha I was just asking myself the same thing

These are two different types of ordnance. Daisy cutter is LARGE, 15,000lbs (BLU-82) conventional bomb

FAE (BLU-73) is much smaller 550lbs, but is VERY powerful, it disperses a large cloud of gas, lets it mix with air, and then ignites it.

Both are said to create such an overpressure wave that they may be useful in detonating minefields

Sometimes I hate to ask for an explanation, so I wait until I can talk to my son. It is great that FReepers were so eager to answer my question and to do it graciously.
