Jet Fuel

 

 

 

  • Jet fuel, often known as aviation turbine fuel (ATF), or avtur, is a kind of aviation fuel made for gas turbine-powered aircraft. It appears colourless to straw-coloured. The fuels Jet A and Jet A-1, manufactured to a defined worldwide specification, are most frequently used in commercial aviation. Other than Jet B, which is used for its improved cold-weather performance, there are no other jet fuels frequently used in commercial turbine-engine-powered aviation.

 

Uses of Jet Fuel:
  • Turbine Motors: The turbines and piston motors that keep jets, as well as other aeroplanes, in the air and flying safely are powered by jet fuel.
  • Kerosene: In America, kerosene has been used as a heat source in portable stoves, barbecues, and space heaters for centuries. In the current world, underprivileged nations continue to use kerosene.
  • Lighting: Kerosene, which is essentially what jet fuel is, is also used to light lamps and lanterns. Kerosene vapours can be highly explosive when combined with air; hence lamps and lanterns must always be kept closed.
