I don't know which two classifications you are referring to, but the two most common are 100LL Avgas, and JET-A. The first is used in piston engines (like a car's) found in small prop planes ; 100 is the octane rating, and the LL means Low Lead. JET-A is used in turbine engines found on larger prop planes and on planes with turbojet engines; JET-A is similar to diesel fuel, it is just a higher quality for use in aviation.

What is the composition of aviation fuel?

Aviation fuel primarily consists of hydrocarbons derived from crude oil, specifically formulated to meet the demands of aircraft engines. The two main types of aviation fuel are Jet A and Jet A-1, which are kerosene-based and contain alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Additionally, aviation fuel may include additives to improve performance, stability, and safety, such as anti-icing agents, antioxidants, and corrosion inhibitors. The specific composition can vary based on the fuel type and intended use.
