How does a jet plane work?
The fan blades force and compress the incoming air and then the compressed air gets sprayed with jet fuel. The fuel and air mixture is then ignited by an electrical spark, which causes the mixture to expand and forced out the back of the engine providing thrust, forcing the plane forward.
Can you burn jet fuel in a Kerosene heater?
We used to when I was in the RAF in the 70's.
Why did john h Johnson name the magazine JET?
Jet is a species of Coal ( a black rock) that is valued as jewelry, not normally used as fuel. Jet, to most people is a type of airplane known for high speed- a Jet engine, Jet propulsion laboratory in California, etc. the title alludes to speed and action- some folks, who have never seen the magazine, assumed it was an aircraft magazine akin to air classics, aviation history, etc. so it is certainly a catchy title- and weekly publication pours on the Jet Fuel, so to speak!
What were the fuel oxidizer combinations used on each of the stages of the V-1 missile?
The V1 used an air breathing pulse jet engine. It burned a form of kerosene and air. Acetylene gas was used to help start the engine. The ground launched version used a steam catapult to get the V-1 to flying speed. These used hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate to generate steam.
What are the weapons use on the air?
During WW2 aircraft used machine guns and automatic cannons, 20mm primarily. During the Vietnam War, jet aircraft used 20/30mm cannons and air to air missiles during aerial combat (dog-fights).
Which fuel is used in jet air crafts?
Jet fuel, sometimes called Jet A, JP4 or JP8. It is a very pure form of kerosene with a few other materials added to remove water.
How does jet fuel help work in a jet engine?
Air is sucked into the engine using giant fans called axial compressors (compressors for short), which compress the air into a very dense structure. The air is then mixed with jet fuel which creates a very potent flammable mixture which is then lit. After the fuel and air is lit, there is a constant controlled explosion where the air and fuel turns into gas and expands extremely fast and is forced out the back of the jet. Without the fuel, the air would not ignite. Jet fuel is different from gasoline used in passenger cars and has more in common with diesel fuel in which both diesel and jet fuel are designed to have high flash points and allows for high compression.
What is injected into high pressure air in a jet plane?
Jet fuel is injected into high pressure air in jet engines.
How Much Jet Fuel is used By Air Force 1?
25 gallons per hour.
What is the fuel-air ratio in a jet engine?
The ratio is about 15:1 fuel to air.
What type of jet uses JP54 fuel?
air
What kind of fuel is used in aircrafts?
Aviation fuel. There is aviation gasoline, Jet-A and Jet-A1 civil jet fuels, and the JP series of military jet fuels.
What is planned jet fuel of the future?
The Air Force has experimented with biodiesel in some of its airplanes - jet fuel is very similar to diesel.
Why is kerosene used as jet fuels instead of petrol?
It is not kerosene but a kerosene type fuel used in jets or aircraft. Jet fuel is a mixture of various hydrocarbons. Jet fuel must be free from water contamination. Synthetic Jet fuel and Jet biofuels are used in different airways. Chemically they are not exactly same as kerosene or petrol.
What is the name of airplane fuel?
Avgas is a common name for fuel used by internal combustion engines in aircraft, while jet fuel is used in jet engines.
What fuel is used in a turbo jet engine?
av gas; i.e. aviation gasoline. Jet fuel.
