Jet fuel
Jet Fuel Full Industry Breakdown
Jet fuel is a specialized aviation turbine fuel designed for gas-turbine engines used in commercial aircraft, cargo aircraft, military jets, helicopters, and certain UAV turbine platforms. Jet fuel is optimized for high energy density, low freezing temperature, stable combustion, and safe storage and transport.
Main Civil Aviation Jet Fuel Types
Jet A (Primarily United States)
Primary Use: United States commercial aviation
Freezing Point: -40°C
Flash Point: Minimum 38°C
Key Features:
Standard U.S. commercial aviation fuel
Kerosene-based fuel
Slightly higher freezing point than Jet A-1
Jet A-1 (Global Standard)
Primary Use: Worldwide – Europe, Middle East, Asia, Africa
Freezing Point: -47°C
Flash Point: Minimum 38°C
Key Features:
Global aviation standard fuel
Lower freezing point allows safer long-haul flights
Anti-static additives typically included
Jet B (Cold Weather Aviation Fuel)
Primary Use: Extremely cold climates
Freezing Point: Approximately -60°C
Key Features:
Wide-cut fuel (blend of kerosene and gasoline)
Higher volatility than Jet A / Jet A-1
Used in Arctic and sub-Arctic operations
Military Jet Fuel Types
JP-5 (Naval Aviation Fuel)
Primary Use: Aircraft carriers and naval aviation
Key Features:
Higher flash point for increased safety onboard ships
Designed specifically for naval aviation operations
JP-8 (Primary NATO Military Jet Fuel)
Primary Use: NATO and U.S. military aviation
Equivalent To: Modified Jet A-1 with additives
Key Features:
Contains anti-icing additives
Contains corrosion inhibitors
Used in multi-climate global military operations
Global Market Reality
Most Commercial Demand: Jet A-1 (Approximately 90% of global aviation fuel usage)
Most Military Demand: JP-8
Specialized Use: Jet B (extreme cold regions), JP-5 (naval aviation only)
Typical Jet Fuel Technical Properties
Energy Density: ~43 MJ/kg
Density: ~0.80 kg/L
Sulfur Content: Ultra-low sulfur for environmental compliance
Color: Clear to straw
High Speed Diesel
