Aviation turbine fuels are used for powering jet and turbo-prop
engined aircraft and are not to be confused with
Avgas.
Outside former communist areas, there are currently two main grades
of turbine fuel in use in civil commercial
aviation
:
Jet A*1 and Jet A, both are kerosene type fuels.
There is another grade of jet fuel, Jet B which is a wide cut
kerosene (a blend of gasoline and kerosene) but it is rarely used
except in very cold climates.
