Introduction
What is ATF?
Air turbine fuel or Aviation fuel is a specialized type of petroleum-based fuel use to power the aircraft. It is generally of higher quality than fuels used in less critical application, such as heating or road transports, and often contains additive to reduce the risk of explosion or icing due to the higher temperature, among other properties.
Most of the aviation fuels available for aircraft are kinds of petroleum spirit use in engines with spark plugs (i.e. piston and

    Early proponents of the jet engine claimed that these new engines could operate on any fuel from whiskey to peanut butter. Although jet engines are much more tolerant than gasoline and diesel engines, the aircraft and engine fuel system are sensitive to the chemical and physical properties of the fuel. Early advances in engine and aircraft design greatly expanded the flight envelope which necessitated new standards for turbine engine fuel quality. This led to the introduction of a variety of fuel types for different purposes and to the development of specifications to ensure the fuel met equipment requirements under all flight conditions.

    There are various types of AFV designs in commercial use today, to include hybrid and flexible fuel designs. The most common are powered by compressed natural gas (CNG), liquid petroleum gas (LPG), propane, hydrogen, alcohol (in the form of methanol or denatured alcohol), gasohol (blends of gasoline and up to 85% alcohol) and electric. These AFV types have been commercially available and in use by fleet applications in the U. S. since the 1960 's. Consumer availability of electric, propane and gasohol products for personal vehicle use began in the 1970 's. Currently, three main types of vehicles operating on alternative fuels are readily available:…

    Gasoline is obtained from petroleum in oil refineries, and used as fuel in combustion engines. It is made of over 250 types of hydrocarbons. Aromatic hydrocarbons like toluene and benzene are used to increase the octane rating of gasoline. Other additives are also added to improve engine performance and reduce the emission of harmful gasses formed as byproducts of the combustion process.…

    Gasoline is a flammable liquid that is made from the refinement of petroleum or better known as crude oil. It helps fuel cars, farm machinery, planes and other type of engines. What is petroleum? It’s a fossil fuel that supplies energy around the world than any other source out there. Petroleum, including gasoline is primarily a mixture between hydrocarbons and small amounts of other substances. In 1994, its known that the United States used up to 7,587,00 barrels of oil a day which concludes that America is the worlds largest consumer in oil. The majority of today’s crude oil is located along side the Persian Gulf Basin with some amounts in Alaska and in the Gulf of Mexico.…

    In this talk Plant fuels that could power a jet, NASA engineer Bilal Bomani presents his work in turning the field of aviation into an environmentally friendly service. At NASA’s GreenLab Research Facility, he uses algae and halophytes to create a self-sustaining, renewable energy ecosystem that doesn’t consume arable land or fresh water. Bomani’s work has a set of guidelines which it must follow. In order to be truly Green, Bomani’s fuel must be Sustainable, Alternative and Renewable. Meaning that it must have a low carbon footprint, it must be cheap to produce, and it cannot use valuable resources. Bomani’s talk is not only informative, but shows the direction of the “Green movement”. Bomani’s talk appeals to the science oriented person, but is well enough explained for anyone to understand. His talk largely appeals to logic, as he takes the time to carefully elaborate on the process and value of his research. He doesn’t appeal to emotion, and his credibility comes largely from his position as a NASA researcher as well as his well thought out presentation. Bomani’s talk shows an important direction that industry must move in, the creation of sustainable fuels could be applied to automobiles and watercraft as well, changing the face of transportation. If our world is to survive, this development of sustainable fuels is a necessary step.…

    The search is on, but what will this fuel of the future be? Ready-made fuels like petroleum are becoming more difficult to find and automobile manufacturers are turning to greener energy sources like batteries. These batteries can be charged with energy and placed in a car where that energy can be released. As good as that idea might seem, some manufacturers think air could become an even better energy source.…

    AFV,(alternative fuel vehicles), by design are intended to improve air quality by lowering ozone-depleting emissions and makes us less dependent on foreign oil products. The various types of AFVs, include hybrid and flexible fuel designs. Powered by electricity, compressed natural gas (CNG), liquid petroleum gas (LPG), propane, hydrogen, alcohol (in the form of methanol and denatured alcohol), and gasohol (which includes up to 85% alcohol), are the most common. Currently, only three types are readily available to the public; which are natural gas; flex fuel, and battery electric. Natural gas powers about 112,000 vehicles already in the United States and is a good choice for centrally fueled fleets that operate within a limited area. The domestic availability and widespread distribution infrastructure is a great advantage. Most NG vehicles use diesel for ignition and then natural gas for the rest. Hybrid vehicles use electricity which is drawn from an off board power source and then stored in batteries. There is also plug in vehicles that can be plugged directly into an electrical outlet when not in use. Flex fuel uses ethanol which is made…
