A Boeing 747 primarily uses Jet A or Jet A-1 fuel, which is a type of aviation turbine fuel (ATF). These fuels are kerosene-based and designed for high performance in jet engines. The 747's four engines are optimized for this fuel type, ensuring efficiency and reliability during flight. Additionally, the fuel is formulated to perform well in a wide range of temperatures and altitudes.
The Boeing 777 uses an airplane grade of diesel similar to that of diesel trucks. Type #2 Kerosene is the diesel fuel used for the Boeing 777. The Boeing 777 has a higher fuel capacity and is more efficient at fuel consumption than earlier models like the 747.
