At present, there are two main categories of aviation fuels used by airlines around the world: aviation gasoline and jet fuel, which are suitable for different types of aircraft engines respectively. Aviation gasoline is used as fuel for piston aircraft engines. Aviation piston engines have the same working principle as general automobile engines, but they are more powerful and lighter, so the quality requirements of aviation gasoline are similar to those of automotive gasoline. At present, this engine is only used in some auxiliary aircraft, such as helicopters, communicators, meteorological aircraft, etc., so the amount of aviation gasoline is also greatly less. With the development of the aviation industry and civil aviation, the power units of large passenger aircraft in civil aviation have been gradually replaced by turbojet engines. This engine drives the aircraft forward and generates thrust by converting fuel combustion into gas. The fuel used is called jet fuel. Due to the widespread production at home and abroad and extensive
The jet fuel used is mostly kerosene, so it is usually called aviation kerosene, or aviation coal for short.
