Coal-based jet fuel will be used for fighter endurance

Recently, the Air Force Logistics Department and Shenhua Group jointly held a report on the results of coal-based jet fuel research stage, revealing that China has achieved three important results in coal-based jet fuel research: completed the comparative test of coal-based jet fuel research bench, conducted experimental flights of the fuel, and formulated the fuel standard
.
In the future, coal-based jet fuel will be used for fighter endurance
.

Coal-based jet fuel is a new type of clean alternative energy, commonly known as "coal-to-oil", which refers to the direct liquefaction of coal through a precise chemical process using coal as raw material to form jet fuel
.
The main component of coal-based jet fuel is naphthenes, which have the characteristics of
large specific gravity, high volume specific heat capacity, high thermal stability and high volume calorific value.
Under the current situation of limited oil resources and energy shortage in China, the development of coal-based jet fuel is an effective way to
make up for the shortage of petroleum-based jet fuel.

Compared with the widely used aviation kerosene, the new aviation fuel made of coal-based jet fuel has the outstanding characteristics of strong stability in high-heat environment and more energy release of the same volume of fuel, which is conducive to extending the endurance time of aircraft, expanding military fuel sources, and better meeting the demand for fuel for new weapons and equipment, which is of great significance for promoting the improvement of the combat effectiveness of
the Air Force.
