Navigating the Skies: Jet Fuel?s Evolution, Challenges & Sustainable Horizons

Nirmal Surendran Menon

Jet fuel, a specialized aviation fuel, is a critical component in powering jet engines that propel aircraft across the skies. This abstract explores the key aspects of jet fuel, including its composition, properties, production, and environmental implications. Jet fuel, derived mainly from crude oil through a complex refining process, consists of hydrocarbons with varying molecular weights. The most common types of jet fuel are Jet A and Jet A-1, both of which are kerosene-based. These hydrocarbons are carefully balanced to provide high energy density and stability under a wide range of temperatures. The performance of jet fuel is characterized by its energy content, flash point, and freezing point. Jet fuel is designed to operate efficiently in high-altitude, low-temperature conditions.
