How do the people who work on the ground of the airports breath in the gas?
Boeing and Airbus airplanes are all jet powered and use aviation grade kerosene or Jet-A.The small piston engined aircraft mostly use Avgas 100LL which is 100 octane Low Lead. There was also a Avgas 130 and 80 but these are pretty hard if not impossible to find.
I don't think that race cars use leaded fuel. Some of the small racers on the local tracks use Avgas 100LL, some places you cannot do this because of the laws regarding road taxes and the lead content of the Avgas.
private oral exam guide guestion?
104Aircraft use jet fuel not gasoline.
Reverse thrust on landing aircraft. How does this actually work?
Commercial Aviation Airplanes use Jet Fuel. It isn't gasoline. It is diesel fuel and or a kerosene depending on what type of engine you have. You can use Jet A, or Jet B. Or in the military, JP3 or JP4.does anyone know what that old airline is??
Some small General Aviation airplanes ( non turbine engines) use a high octane gasoline, called Avgas. There are different types of unleaded versions out there. But over the years that has been standardized, using 100LL (low leaded)
Could Boeing the airplane company beat the Airbus A380 with a bigger and better airplane?
Race cars use gasoline. Octane levels to high to run in your normal street car without damage.
When is Airbus going to take out the A350?
I'd probably go to www.howstuffworks.com and look at the difference in the internal combustion engine (suck, squeeze, bang, blow) and then look at the jet engine (constant pressure)
What date will the first Boeing 787 be delivered?
depending on the aircraft they use either jet-a for jets or a-fuel which is a higher grade of gasoline with additive so it will not break down at high altitude it usally runs between 104 and 112 octane race cars /bikes use any where from 108 -125 unleaded running them on the street is illegal. but a-fuel is a good cleaner for dirty injectors /carbs ect and runs real good in an oxygen rich environment (less o2 at altitude)Helicopter Pilot Question (Air Force / Coast Guard)?
DONOT USE PUMP GAS FOR A PLANE it can break down and so will the aircraft making you a lawn dart
London to New York in 2 Hours, what would it take to see Scramjet Technology a reality?
Jets can use av gas if they absolutely have to, but only for a limited time. And, its way less efficient than jet fuel, which is close to being kerosene. Race cars use a lower octane than some reciprocating aircraft engines. Except formula one cars, they use some magical fuel additive that almost eliminates detonation. That's why formula one cars/ Indy cars can run 90 pounds of boost and not blow the head off the engine.need to know how much work availabilty there is in aviation composite material repairs...?
Commercial jet aircraft use Jet A. Piston airplanes burn 100LL.(100 octane low lead) Nascar uses 110 octane leaded racing gas by Sunoco. In 2008 they will use unleaded.Older aircraft certified for 80 octane avgas can use auto gas under an STC(Supplementlal Type Certificate).
methods of demand forecasting used by aviation sector in india?
Just for the record, the military uses JP8 now, and has for quite a few years.Oakland,California -Oklahoma city, Oklahoma how long does it take by plane to get there?
Boeing and Airbus aircraft all have turbine/turbofan engines. These engines normally run Jet-a which is like kerosene, and they can also operate on diesel. If it comes to it aircraft with turbine engines can run on regular aviation gas which is 100LL (100 octane with low lead content), and they can also in a pinch run on regular gasoline. The problem with running on gasoline with the turbine engines is that depending on the type of engine most engines have a maximum amount of hours as to which they can be run on gasoline between overhauls. An example of this is the PT-6 engine which is the most common turbo prop turbine engine may run for a maximum of 50 hours on gasoline between overhauls and at which point any more may damage the engine or cause excess wear.why does S.N.A. have 3 different names?
100LL which is the most common for piston driven aircraft is 100 octane with low lead. The lead is used to help with lubrication and cooling of the engine. The higher octane content if to insure that there will not be detonation. Detonation is when the gasoline mixture explodes rather than burns. Gasoline is mainly composed of Octane and Heptane. Heptane is much quicker burning and more explodes than burns while Octane will burn longer and not explode in the same way.
Really hard question to answer to long to say here click for the question?
Colourings:
100LL : blue tint
100/130: green tint
80/87: red colour
MO gas(car gas): straw
Jet-a: clear
What was the name of the two people who flew the first manned flight?
These colourings help to allow for an easy way for pilots to tell what type of gas is in a container which will allow them to make sure there a/c is getting filled with the correct grade of gasoline.
how does a plane stay up in the air?
only piston engines that uses gas can be accounted in octane levelsrace cars uses generally methanol with other additives
jet engines uses Jet-A or other equivalent kerosene fuels
how do you start a commercial plane up?
To correct some apparent misapprehensions here:do helicopter push down air or lift thru the air?
A gas turbine (jet) engine IS an internal combustion engine. It therefore has the same four stages or cycles of power generation as a cylinder-and-piston type of internal combustion engine. Since the 'suck, squeeze, bang, and blow' (intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust) are done continuously in a gas turbine rather than in fits and starts as in a piston engine it is vastly more efficient.
How long does it take the Concorde plane to get from Europe to Canada?
Also, if there were constant pressure throughout the jet engine, it wouldn't work viz. the four stages noted above. There is, however, constant combustion.
can we say AIRCRAFTS (in the plural) or aircraft does not take S?
Also, there ARE aircraft which use MOGAS (automobile gasoline) as fuel. They are either light General Aviation aircraft which have been modified under an STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) from the FAA to allow it or aircraft operating as 'experimental' aircraft in which, to a great extent, 'anything goes'. Either of these conditions requires a great deal of paperwork, time, and money, so you'd have to do a LOT of flying to make the effort worthwhile.
