Aviation fuels all have a different temperature which they burn at which is defined as the flashpoint, The flashpoint of fuel is the temperature at which a fuel has to be heated to produce sufficient vapors to ignite or flash when in contact with a naked flame or heat source. AVCAT+FSII aviation fuel which is used by the Navy uses for helicopters has a flashpoint 61.5* Celsius, some aviation fuels eg AVGAS or AVTUR have a flashpoint as low as -38.5* Celsius

At what temperature does jet fuel freeze?
There are different types of jet fuel. Standard ones are Jet A and Jet A-1. Jet A freezing point = -40 C Jet A-1 freezing point = -47 C Google it!
Best jet fuel freezing point depressant?
Prist
What has a higher boiling point than jet fuel?
water
What is the purpose of jet trails?
They really have no purpose . But mostly they are created by the jet exhaust freezing and creating ice crystals as the airliner flies in the stratosphere where temperatures are well blow freezing. Another similar point of view. Jet trails, or condensate trails, have no more purpose than the little cloud formed when you "see your breath" on a cold day. The same principles are involved.
How much fuel does a jet engine burn per hour?
Airliner jet engines such as a Boeing 737 burns about 3,500 pounds of fuel per hour at cruising altitude and speed. Thats a little over 500 gallons per hour per engine.

What is the freezing point for fuel in a helicopter?
Kerosene based jet fuel used in helicopters has a freezing point of -40 degrees C (-40 degrees F) to -50 degrees C (-58 degrees F).
At what temperature does jet fuel freeze at?
Jet A fuel, the most common type of jet fuel freezes at −40 °C (-40°F) However the problem does not arise in practice as most modern jet aircraft are equipped with in-pipeline fuel heaters which maintain the temperature of the fuel lines so as to prevent any gelling or freezing of the fuel. Indeed, a much more concerning phenomena is the freezing of water-ice crystals in the fuel, as water has a much higher freezing point, and can clog fuel lines. Nowadays almost all jet fuel is treated with special additives which, among other things, prevent the formation of these ice crystals.
What is jet fuels freezing point?
Jet-a -40 jet-a1 is -47 c
How do they stop petrol from freezing in Antarctica?
Petrol used in Antarctica is usually jet fuel which possesses the lowest freezing point of any petrol with an operating range of -100°F (-73°C). There are also periods during which there is no use of petrol because the jet fuel is frozen.
What fuel is used in jet?
Typically jet fuel, which is very similar to kerosene. Often the fuel will include additives, for example to prevent the fuel from freezing or reduce corrosion. The most common fuel is called "Jet A-1".
What fuel is used in jet airplane?
Typically jet fuel, which is very similar to kerosene. Often the fuel will include additives, for example to prevent the fuel from freezing or reduce corrosion. The most common fuel is called "Jet A-1".
What kind of fuel do jets burn?
Jet fuel is a type of aviation-fueldesigned for use in aircraftpowered by gas-turbine. It is clear to straw-colored in appearance. The most commonly used fuels for commercial aviation are Jet A and Jet A-1 which are produced to a standardized international specification. The only other jet fuel commonly used in civilian turbine-engine powered aviation is Jet B which is used for its enhanced cold-weather performance.Jet fuel is a mixture of a large number of different hydrocarbons. The range of their sizes (molecular weights or carbon numbers) is restricted by the requirements for the product, for example, the freezing point or smoke point. Kerosene-type jet fuel (including Jet A and Jet A-1) has a carbon number distribution between about 8 and 16 carbon numbers; wide-cut or naphtha-type jet fuel (including Jet B), between about 5 and 15 carbon numbers.jet-fuelRead more: jet-fuel
What is the color of jet fuel?
Jet fuel is generally clear and has no color. However jet fuel trucks and pumps will be color coded with black insignia and markings as opposed to blue insignia and markings for avgas. Jet fuel can be broken into two categories Jet A (used in the US only) and Jet A-1 (used internationally because of it's much improved capabilities of handling a Higher Freezing point) and they both are a clear to straw colour, both Fuels are made of a multitude of Hydrocarbons and are made to meet tight International specifications.
What has a higher boiling point than jet fuel?
water
What gas comes out of a plane?
The primary types of jet fuel is Jet Fuel A, and Jet fuel A-1, the difference between the two is their freezing point (−40 °C vs −47 °C for Jet A-1). In almost all other regards (such as autoignition temperature, density, and open air buring temperatures) the two fuels are nearly identical.
