What is injected into high pressure air in a jet plane?
Jet fuel is injected into high pressure air in jet engines.
Is diesel fuel the same as jet fuel?
No
Why is kerosene used as jet fuels instead of petrol?
It is not kerosene but a kerosene type fuel used in jets or aircraft. Jet fuel is a mixture of various hydrocarbons. Jet fuel must be free from water contamination. Synthetic Jet fuel and Jet biofuels are used in different airways. Chemically they are not exactly same as kerosene or petrol.
How does a jet engine create thrust?
There are a few different jet engines, but it basically needs bleed air and fuel. Air enters the engine where it is compressed and mixed with fuel. Next, the air/fuel is heated in a combustion chamber, then it is unleashed through the turbine as thrust.
Are rockets and jet engines the same?
No. Jet engines draw oxygen from the atmosphere to mix and burn with jet fuel, and cannot function in a vacuum. Rockets carry their own oxygen, and can travel in the vacuum of space.
