Do airplanes use diesel or gasoline?

[OSebastian]

Airplanes do not use diesel or gasoline; they typically use kerosene. Gasoline is unsafe, highly volatile, and too flammable, although it is still used in piston engines. Diesel is too viscous and unsuitable for turbine engines. Here are the reasons for using kerosene: 1. Low density: Its low density and lighter weight make it suitable for aerial use; high ignition point makes it less prone to burning, enhancing safety. 2. High purity: Superior to the purest gasoline, ensuring stable combustion and low engine failure rates; high calorific value provides significant thrust for aircraft.
