Correct Answer - Option 2 : Jet Fuel

The correct option is Jet Fuel.

  • Jet fuel (Jet A-1 type aviation fuel, also called JP-1A) is used globally in turbine engines (jet engines, turboprops) in civil aviation. 
  • This is a carefully refined, light petroleum. The fuel type is kerosene. 
  • Jet A-1 has a flashpoint higher than 38°C and a freezing point of -47°C.
  • After refining, aviation fuel is mixed with extremely small amounts of several additives. Among other things, these additives prevent the fuel from igniting in an uncontrolled manner, stop deposits from forming in the turbine, or the aviation fuel from becoming electrically charged.
  • Some other similar fuels used are:
    • Kerosene-gasoline mixture
    • Gasoline
    • Super gasoline with additives
    • Kerosene-biofuel mixture

 

  • Liquid fuel includes liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen is the fuel used in Rocket Engines.
