To power up the aircraft, aviation uses fuel-based petroleum or synthetic fuel blends. These fuels have better qualities than fuels used for ground use. Some additives present in it are essential for enhancing properties necessary for fuel performance handling. In civil aviation, the turbine engines use Jet A-1 and JP-8. It is light kerosene-based fuel.
