Overview
Jet fuel, also known as aviation turbine fuel (ATF), is a clear to straw-colored fuel available in two main types: Jet A-1 (unleaded kerosene) and Jet B (naphtha-kerosene blend). Similar to diesel fuel, it is suitable for use in both compression ignition engines and turbine engines.
Applications:
Jet fuel, specifically aviation turbine fuel (ATF), is specifically formulated for use in gas-turbine engines that power aircraft. It serves as the primary fuel source for commercial aviation and is produced to adhere to a standardized international specification.
The most commonly used jet fuels in commercial aviation are Jet A and Jet A-1. These fuels ensure efficient and reliable performance, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of aircraft worldwide.
