Jet fuel is a type of aviation fuel designed for use in aircraft powered by gas-turbine engines.Â
It is clear to straw-colored in appearance. The most commonly used fuels for commercial aviationÂ
are Jet A and Jet A-1 which are produced to a standardized international specification. The only otherÂ
jet fuel commonly used in civilian turbine-engine powered aviation is Jet B which is used for its enhancedÂ
cold-weather performance.
Jet fuel is a mixture of a large of different hydrocarbons. The range of their sizesÂ
(molecular weights or carbon ) is restricted by the requirements for the product, for example,Â
the freezing point or smoke point. Kerosene-type jet fuel (including Jet A and Jet A-1) has a carbonÂ
distribution between about 8 and 16 carbon (carbon atoms per molecule); wide-cut orÂ
naha-type jet fuel (including Jet B), between about 5 and 15 carbon
Jet A-1 is the standard specification fuel used in the rest of the world. Jet A-1 has a flash point
higher than 38 °C (100 °F), with an autoignition temperature of 210 °C (410 °F).
