turbine helicopters take either JP-4 or JP-5 grade jet fuel.
Reciprocating engines: 100 octane low lead (100LL) Turbine engines: Jet A, basically kerosene.
The MD 530F is a versatile single turbine helicopter with a Rolls-Royce 250-C30 engine, capable of high performance in high-altitude and high-temperature conditions, a maximum range of 230 nautical miles, and enhanced lift capacity.
The key isn't really whats required. You can have the key and still not be able to turn it on. It's not like a car. You need to understand what type of chopper you are flying ie gas turbine or flat engine. Starting a gas turbine helicopter like the MD500 requires many further steps to ignite and turn on the engine.
The Westland Wasp is a turbine powered, shipboard anti-submarine helicopter. Also a unique first generation jet helicopter made famous for being the first helicopter ever to be operated from (frigates and destroyers) and the first helicopter to disable an enemy vessel at sea.
