Fuel efficiency has become a critical focus in the aviation industry due to its direct impact on both operational costs and environmental sustainability.
Fuel
The aviation industry has long been characterized by its high consumption of fuel, largely due to the need for powering large, sophisticated aircraft across vast distances.
Aircraft fuel efficiency is crucial for both economic and environmental reasons. It helps airlines reduce costs and lowers greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a greener planet.
Aviation fuel, also known as jet fuel, is the lifeblood of the aviation industry. It is a specialized type of fuel designed to meet the demanding requirements of jet engines that power commercial, private, and military aircraft.
Aviation fueling eliminate human error and loss that come with traditional paper ticketing for fuel transactions, and the manual measurement and reconciliation of fuel inventory in fuel tanks.
Aviation fuels are petroleum-based fuels, or petroleum and synthetic fuel blends, used to power aircraft, They are kerosene-based (JP-8 and Jet A-1) for gas turbine-powered aircraft. Piston-engined aircraft use gasoline and those with diesel engines may use jet fuel (kerosene).
