  • Aviation Fuel: Understanding Jet Fuel and Avgas for Airplanes
    Airplanes primarily use jet fuel, also known as aviation fuel.

    Here's a bit more detail:

    * Jet fuel is a type of kerosene-based fuel specifically designed for jet engines.

    * It's highly refined and has a high energy density, making it efficient for air travel.

    * There are different grades of jet fuel, each with its own specifications to meet different operating conditions and environmental requirements.

    While some smaller aircraft might use avgas (aviation gasoline), it's less common than jet fuel for larger commercial flights.
