Jet fuel or aviation turbine fuel (ATF, also abbreviated avtur) is a type of aviation fuel designed for use in aircraft powered by gas-turbine engines. It is colorless to straw-colored in appearance. The most commonly used fuels for commercial aviation are Jet A and Jet A-1, which are produced to a standardized international specification.
JP-1 (for "Jet Propellant") was an early jet fuel, specified in 1944 by the U.S. government (AN-F-32). It was a pure kerosene fuel with high flash point (relative to aviation gasoline) and a freezing point of −60 °C.
JP-1 was the first U.S. military standard jet fuel (hence the 1 in the designation), with its specifications issued in 1944; it was an extremely narrow-cut, high-alkane kerosene, not far from what would later become RP-1.
14 wrz 2011 · JP-1 (for "Jet Propellant") was an early jet fuel, specified in 1944 by the U.S. government (AN-F-32). It was a pure kerosene fuel with high flash point (relative to aviation gasoline) and a freezing point of −60 °C.
13 sie 2021 · The first jet fuel was known as JP-1 (Jet Propellant 1) and was a blend of gasoline, kerosene and other chemicals. U.S. military research laboratories soon sought fuels with better qualities, like those that did not produce visible smoke nor contrails (the visible trail of condensed water vapor, or ice crystals, caused by the condensed water ...
28 kwi 2022 · JP-1 was a kerosene fuel but the specified freezing point of < 213 K greatly restricted its availability since few refiners could meet such a strict freezing point requirement [3].
29 maj 2023 · JP-8 is the military standard jet fuel used by all NATO air forces. Universally available, JP-8 is a kerosene-based fuel used in turbine-powered aircraft and diesel-powered military vehicles. JP-8 is expected to be used by all NATO countries until at least 2025.
