The Relationship Between Aircraft Engines and Different Types of Fuel

This seminar explains how aviation fuel use depends on the climate in different parts of the world and different types of aircraft engines.

Aviation fuels are specialized, high-quality fuels engineered specifically for aircraft. They are mainly divided into turbine engine jet fuels (kerosene-based) and piston engine aviation gasoline (Avgas). The most common types are Jet A-1 (the global standard), Jet A (the U.S. standard), Jet B (a cold climate blend), and 100LL Avgas. In recent years, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), a low-carbon, renewable alternative, has been gaining prominence in the industry.
