1. Key points from Part I
Today, jet fuel is :
used to power aircraft equipped with turbomachinery;
essentially obtained, when of fossil origin, by direct distillation of petroleum, with a relatively simple refining scheme compared to that used for the production of land-based fossil fuels.
To ensure its safe use, it must comply with strict specifications guaranteed by ASTM D1655 standards.
