aviation fuels

Aviation fuels are specialized liquids used to power aircraft engines. They are designed to have high energy content, stability at various temperatures, and performance characteristics suitable for flying. The most common type is jet fuel (such as Jet-A or Jet-A1), used in commercial and military jets, and is similar to kerosene. Avgas (aviation gasoline) is used in small piston-engine planes. These fuels are refined from crude oil and undergo strict quality controls to ensure safety, efficiency, and reliability during flights. Different aircraft and engines require specific fuel types to operate safely and efficiently at various altitudes and conditions.
