Jet fuel

It is a type of aircraft fuel that is used for airplanes with turbine engines such as turbojet, turbofan and turboprop and turboshaft helicopters.
Turbine engines are generally capable of using a variety of petroleum fuels, but all types of jet fuel today are high-purity kerosene with additives added to prevent corrosion, rusting, freezing at low temperatures, or igniting at high temperatures.

A suitable jet fuel should have a high ignition temperature, should not precipitate and cause rust, should have a high calorific value, be safe to transport and work with, should not damage the hot parts of the engine turbine, and flow well in cold weather.
Jet fuels for civil aircraft are divided into three general categories
Jet fuel A and A1: Jet fuel A is the standard jet fuel in the United States. And in other parts of the world, the A1 standard is used. The ignition point of both of them should be higher than 38 degrees Celsius and their self-ignition temperature should be higher than 210 degrees.
Jet fuel B: This type of fuel is a combination of approximately 30% kerosene and 70% gasoline. This type of fuel has a lower freezing temperature and does not freeze up to 60 degrees below zero. Its ignition point is also lower and as a result it is considered a more dangerous fuel. This type of fuel performs better in cold weather and is used only in very cold weather.
