Jet Fuel

Jet fuel is a type of aviation fuel specifically designed for use in aircraft. It is a high-energy, specialized fuel that is used to power jet engines, which are commonly found in commercial airliners and military aircraft. The most common types of jet fuel are Jet A and Jet A-1, which are kerosene-based fuels that meet strict specifications for performance and safety. Jet fuel is distinguished by its low freezing point, high flash point, and its ability to provide efficient combustion at high altitudes, where temperatures are extremely low. It is essential for the operation of jet engines, which rely on the fuel's properties to generate thrust and power the aircraft during flight. Safety and quality control are paramount in jet fuel production and handling, as impurities or incorrect formulations can lead to engine failures and safety hazards.
