No it is not basic Diesel, it is Kerosene.

aftermath proves theories on H20 in contrailsin dramatic fashion.


Jet fuel at it's most basic, is ultra high quality diesel, with additives 
added to it to do various things - like detergents to keep the system clean,

and as far as commercial aviation is concerned to minimize the risk of fire 
in a crash.

The problem with biological diesel fuels, is that they have very poor cold 
weather characteristics- something that due to the altitude, jet's face all 
day, every day while they are flying.

Another factor, is that biological fuels tend to have a lower BTU value than

their fossil fuel counterparts - which means that more fuel has to be 
carried for a given distance traveled - thus a lower fuel economy ( which 
can be a major factor in flight operations ).


Personally, I would like to see commercial flying cut back and the return of

commercial train traffic ( which is more fuel efficient anyway ) - steam 
engines based on gasification tech anyone?
