Impulsando los motores a reacción de la aviación
Los combustibles para turbinas de aviación (ATF), más conocidos como combustible para aviones, se utilizan para propulsar aeronaves con motores de turbina de gas, como aviones militares a reacción y aviones civiles de pasajeros. El ATF se produce a partir de petróleo crudo mediante destilación fraccionada; consiste en queroseno altamente refinado.
Los combustibles para turbinas de aviación ATF más utilizados en la aviación comercial son el Jet A y el Jet A-1, que se producen de acuerdo con especificaciones internacionales estandarizadas.
