	Military Aviation Fuel
		Jet fuels, or turbine fuels, are one of the primary fuels for internal combustion engines worldwide and are the most widely available aviation fuel.
		Gasoline type fuels are not used to any large extent in aircraft turbojet and turboprop engines because of poor lubricating properties as compared to kerosene type fuels and because of lead additives which have an adverse effect on aircraft turbine engines.
		A Primary Fuel is the fuel or fuels used during aircraft tests to demonstrate system performance (contract compliance) through the complete operating range for any steady state and transient operating condition.

		The fuel leaking out of the left wing fed a ground fire that burned the left wing and a portion of the fuselage aft of the wing.
		Foam was used to cover the fuel on the ground to prevent ignition and to forestall the possibility of a larger conflagration.
		For example, fuel tanks placed at the front of a wing, rather than behind the protective spars, are at extreme risk of rupturing during a crash.

	Aviation fuel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aviation Fuel is a specialized type of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft; it is generally of a higher quality than fuels used in less critical applications such as heating or road transport, and often contains additives to reduce the risk of icing or explosion due to high temperatures, amongst other properties.
		Aviation fuel is often dispensed from a truck or bowser which is driven up to parked airplanes and helicopters.
		Aviation fuel must be checked daily and before every flight for contaminants such as water or dirt.

	Aviation Fuel - Jet Fuel Information
		Aviation turbine fuels are used for powering jet and turbo-prop engined aircraft and are not to be confused with Avgas.
		There is another grade of jet fuel, Jet B which is a wide cut kerosine (a blend of gasoline and kerosine) but it is rarely used except in very cold climates.
		Fuel System Icing Inhibitors (Anti-icing additives) reduce the freezing point of water precipitated from jet fuels due to cooling at high altitudes and prevent the formation of ice crystals which restrict the flow of fuel to the engine.

	Aviation Fuel
		Aircraft engines, from powerful piston engines to jet turbines, have always required a more sophisticated form of fuel than most ground vehicles, and the technological development of this fuel to power the engines is just as significant as other technological advances.
		Doolittle was already famous in the aviation community as a racing pilot and for his support of advanced research and development (and would later earn even wider fame as head of the 1942 B-25 bombing raid on Tokyo).
		They wanted fuels that did not produce visible smoke and which were also less likely to produce contrails (the visible trail of condensed water vapor or ice crystals caused when water condenses in aircraft exhaust at certain altitudes).

	Aviation and the Global Atmosphere
		Aviation is a technologically intensive industry, both as a user and as a driver of advanced technology.
		Continued aviation liberalization has not brought decreased regulation in the areas of safety, security, and the environment however, and continued cooperation among national authorities is necessary to ensure that such regulations are globally and competitively neutral.

		And as you would expect storing this fuel properly and making sure it reaches the engine at the right time is a lot more complicated in an experimental plane than it is in your average family car.
		Therefore Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer's Williams engine is modified to use JP-4 - an older aviation fuel, which is basically a 50/50 mix of gasoline and kerosene and does not solidify as easily.
		Valves control the fuel flow from the outer sections of the wings to the boom tanks, and from here it is pumped into the tank below the engine.

		The problem is in a fuel vent system that had been replaced because of difficulties last year when Fossett was becoming the first man to fly around the world solo, nonstop without refueling.
		During the takeoff, he lost 3,100 pounds of fuel from the leak but still landed with a reserve of 1,500 pounds of fuel.
		The amount of fuel left over made Fossett realize that the plane hadn't flown to its full capacity and wasn't ready for retirement to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
