is a kerosene-type fuel used
in gas-turbine-powered aircraft (see turbine).
Important properties of a turbo fuel include: clean and efficient burning;
ability to provide adequate energy for thrust; resistance to chemical
degradation in storage or when used as a heat transfer medium on the
aircraft; non-corrosiveness; ability to be transferred and metered under all
conditions; volatility high enough for
burning but low enough to prevent excessive losses from tank vents; and
freedom from dirt, rust, water, and other contaminants. Turbo fuel has
different properties than aviation gasoline, which
fuels piston-engine aircraft.
