Because jet engines reach a high altitude in a short period of time, thereby experiencing sudden changes in pressure and temperature, jet fuels are required to meet the standards for any abnormalities in jet engines, such as clogged fuel filters and fuel evaporation.
Jet fuels have an almost identical composition to kerosene because they are produced by injecting various additives into a type of kerosene specially made for jet engines.
ㆍApplication: Jet fuels for commercial aircraft (JET-A1), jet fuels for military aircraft (JP-8)
