The same way Gasoline is (Petrol for cars, AvGas for piston-driven aircraft).<br /><br />The Kerosene in your garden shed is quite a weak grade of it (though I'd be willing to bet enough of it burning in a drum would produce extreme heat).<br /><br />The Kerosene used in Jet Liners is 'Jet-A1', and it is a much higher grade and burns VERY hot - about 2000 degrees Celsius on average in the open air. Jet-A1 fuel fires are very difficult to extinguish and require special foams.<br /><br />The Kerosene used in missiles and orbital rockets is an even higher grade and even more dangerous.<br /><br />Bulk reply:<br /><br />The factual data is surprisingly hard to find, but it's there. You really cannot trust anything you read in a forum or on wikipedia, it needs to come from a reputable source-<br /><br />Jet-A1 aviation fuel, a *type* of Kerosene (Kerosene, or Kerosine, is a family, not a single chemical), burns at 2000 degrees Celsius.<br /><br />Carbon steel will liquefy and flow at approximately 1400 degrees Celsius, and will be severely weakened well below that temperature.<br /><br />I think a lot of the misconception comes from (possibly uneducated) american readers seeing '2000 degrees' and mistakenly thinking this means '2000 F' - about 1000 C - whereas of course it actually means '2000 degrees C'.<br /><br />Jet-A1/JP8 (same thing) properties:<br /><br />http://aviationsafetyadvisorygroup.org/projects-initiatives/resource-guide-to-aircraft-fire-fighting-rescue/<br />http://webserver.dmt.upm.es/~isidoro/dat1/eCombus.pdf<br />http://papers.sae.org/2012-01-1199/<br /><br />Shell Aviation if you want to ask them in person:<br /><br />mailto:aviation-technology@shell.com<br /><br />767's carry 90,000 litres of Jet-A1:<br /><br />http://www.boeing.com/commercial/767family/pf/pf_200prod.html<br /><br />Carbon steel:<br /><br />http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/melting-temperature-metals-d_860.html<br />http://www.suppliersonline.com/research/property/metals/1011.asp<br />ISeeWrongPeoplenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649125871844502857.post-33954120567660648172012-09-07T01:45:14.532-07:002012-09-07T01:45:14.532-07:00And WTC7 didn't even have any jet fuel... so n...And WTC7 didn't even have any jet fuel... so no jet fuel required at all.
