Jet Fuel or Aviation
Turbine Fuel is a type of aviation fuel designed for use in aircraft
powered by gas-turbine engines. It is colourless to straw-colored in
appearance. The most commonly used fuels for commercial aviation
are Jet A and Jet A-1 which are produced to a standardized
international specification. The only other jet fuel commonly used in
civilian turbine-engine powered aviation is Jet B which is used for its
enhanced cold-weather performance.
Jet fuel is a mixture of a large number of different hydrocarbons. The range of their sizes (molecular weights or carbon numbers) is restricted by the requirements for the product, for example, the freezing point or smoke point. Kerosene-type jet fuel (including Jet A and Jet A-1) has a carbon number distribution between about 8 and 16 (carbon atoms per molecule); wide-cut or naphtha-type jet fuel (including Jet B ), between about 5 and 15.
