JP-5 is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, containing alkanes, naphthenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons that weighs 6.8 pounds per U.S. gallon (0.81 kg/L) and has a high flash point (min. 60 °C or 140 °F). [27]
JP-10 (fuel) JP-10 fuel - (Jet Propellant 10), is a jet fuel, specified and used mainly as a gas turbine fuel in missiles. Despite being designed for military purposes, it is not a kerosene based fuel. It is a gas turbine fuel for missiles. [1] It contains mainly exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (a synthetic fuel), and adamantane.
JPTS is a specialty fuel and is produced by only two oil refineries in the United States. As such, it has limited worldwide availability and costs over three times the per-gallon price of the Air Force's primary jet fuel, JP-8. Research is under way to find a cheaper and easier alternative involving additives to generally used jet fuels.
On May 6, 2021, at least 20,000 gallons of JP-5 jet fuel spilled from one of Red Hill's underground storage tanks, entering the facility's fire suppression system.
JP-4 was a mixture of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. It was a flammable transparent liquid with clear or straw color, and a kerosene-like smell. It evaporated easily and floated on water. Although it had a low flash point (0 °F (−18 °C)), a lit match dropped into JP-4 would not ignite the mixture. JP-4 froze at −76 °F (−60 °C ...
The Pratt & Whitney J58 (JT11D-20) turbojet aero engine, which had a specific fuel requirement; namely JP-7 turbine fuel. [1]Turbine Fuel Low Volatility JP-7, commonly known as JP-7 (referred to as Jet Propellant 7 prior to MIL-DTL-38219 [2]) is a specialized type of jet fuel developed in 1955 for the United States Air Force (USAF) for use in its supersonic military aircraft, including the SR ...
JP-8, or JP8 (for "Jet Propellant 8"), is a jet fuel, specified and used widely by the US military. It is specified by MIL-DTL-83133 and British Defence Standard 91-87, and similar to commercial aviation's Jet A-1, but with the addition of corrosion inhibitor and anti-icing additives. A kerosene -based fuel, JP-8 is projected to remain in use ...
Aviation fuel. An aviation fuel truck. At some airports, underground fuel pipes allow refueling without the need for tank trucks. Trucks carry the necessary hoses and pumping equipment, but no fuel. Aviation fuels are petroleum -based fuels, or petroleum and synthetic fuel blends, used to power aircraft. They have more stringent requirements ...
