At military parades, we often see fighter jets hovering in the air, and this scene is impressive. However, not much is known about fighter jets. For example, do you know whether the fighter jet is on gasoline or diesel?In fact, fighter jets mainly run on specialized aviation kerosene, rather than gasoline or diesel.

This may come as a surprise to many, but it is true. The reasons for the use of aviation kerosene in fighters have their justification. First of all, jet fuel is relatively safer. We all know that smoking is prohibited when refueling at a gas station, as open flames can start**. In the same way, when a fighter is flying in the sky, if it is attacked, it can pose a great danger. The stability of jet fuel is also one of its advantages.

At low temperatures, gasoline is volatile, while jet fuel remains in a liquid state, which also makes it easier to transport and store, while also being safer than gasoline. In addition, there is a clear difference between a fighter jet flying in the air and a car on the ground, and the use of gasoline to burn inadequately in the air will produce a large amount of black smoke, which will affect the air quality. As a result, today's fighter jets basically run on aviation kerosene.

This fuel has a number of advantages, including being more stable, burning more fully, and remaining liquid at low temperatures, making it ideal for high-altitude flight. By understanding this knowledge, you may have a new understanding of fighter jets.
