>Turbine engines use Jet A which is a kerosene blend fuel.

I’m always amazed how people don’t know this and think “jet fuel” is some magic stuff.

I’m missing steps, but I think it’s pretty much:

Yes, and diesel, kerosene, home heating oil, and jet fuel are all very close to the same thing. Different purity standards and additives of course.


oil >> tanker fuel >> diesel >> kerosene >> jet fuel >> RP1 (rocket fuel)
