Aviation kerosene, commonly referred to as jet fuel, is a specialized fuel designed for gas turbine engines in aircraft. It is typically clear to straw-colored and primarily consists of hydrocarbons. The most widely used types are Jet A and Jet A-1, which have low freezing points and high flash points, enhancing safety and performance in aviation operations.

Uses of Aviation Kerosene:

• Aircraft Power: Jet fuel powers turbine and piston engines in commercial and military aircraft.
• Heating: It is used in portable stoves and heaters, especially in developing countries.
• Lighting: Kerosene lamps are still used in some communities for illumination.
