Analysis of Requirements to Quality of Jet Fuels for Military and Civil Use

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the current state in availability of military and civil jet fuels, their quality requirements and production prospects to meet growing needs. The brief outline about the history of development and use of aviation fuels is provided. The paper presents general classification of aviation fuels, which are used today, their designation and area of application. It is shown how the conditions of aircraft exploitation determine requirements to quality of jet fuels. From other side the interconnection between production processes, composition and quality parameters of available today civil and military aviation fuels is analyzed. The performed analytical study gives grounds for further theoretical and experimental works related to production, use and quality assessment of aviation fuels.
