A jet stream of water shot out of the hose.
No, a jet is not a type of rocket. Jets operate by using the intake of air, which is mixed with fuel and then ignited in a combustion chamber to produce thrust. Rockets, on the other hand, carry their own oxidizer and do not require air intake for propulsion.
Have you SEEN the price of gasoline lately....Just kidding-- Rockets fuels are rated by Specific Impulse, a measure of how fast the explosion travels when it shoots out the back. Gasoline is good as a fuel, but not as good as many others. The space shuttle uses hydrogen and oxygen.
Rockets commonly run on liquid fuel, solid fuel, or a combination of both. Liquid fuel rockets use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, while solid fuel rockets use a solid propellant mixture. Both types of rockets generate thrust through a controlled combustion process.
A spacecraft need a rocket engine (which is powered by on-board oxygen and fuel) to propel itself, an airplane only needs a jet engine (which only needs on-board fuel as it uses oxygen form the air).
The final quarter 2014, the average cost of jet fuel was about $2.85 per gallon. A Boeing 777 holds about 51,585 gallons of jet fuel.
$1.39
In the US on this day in April, 2011, a gallon of jet fuel purchased under a bulk contract costs about $3.25 per gallon.
Jet fuel weighs about 6.7 pounds per gallon and costs about 3 dollars per gallon, so that would equate to approximately 45 cents per pound.
Jet fuel weighs 6.8 lbs per gallon.
Jet fuel weighs about 6.7 pounds per gallon and costs about 3 dollars per gallon, so that would equate to approximately 45 cents per pound.
Jet fuel is diesel fuel, which is generally cheaper than high-octane gasoline.
The cost of jet fuel varies depending on the location of the airport and the city where its being purchased, this can cause a variation of a few dollars per gallon. It runs around $24 to $26 dollars a barrel.
Too much

Jet A fuel is roughly at 7.99 a gallon so your looking at about $457,707.15. That's to fuel up a 747 by the way. It depends on the plane
