What type of fuel do small airplanes use? What about large jets?
Aviation Fuel. it’s a specialised type of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft; it is generally of a higher quality than fuels used in less critical applications such as heating or road transport, and often contains additives to reduce the risk of icing or explosion due to high temperatures, amongst other properties. Aviation fuel is typically divided into two categories: Avgas, which is used in piston-engined aircraft, and jet fuel, which is used in jet-engined aircraft.
