I'm relatively certain that neither Concorde nor any passenger jets burn aviation gas. It may be physically possible, but would be extremely ill advised given the lead additive
- rounce 10mo agoI'm pretty sure they weren't referring to 100LL, but either way even back in the 90s Jet-A was around USD 0.50 per gallon, in the 60s it was nearly 1/5th of even that.
- WillAdams 10mo agoFair. Edited my comment to note that both sorts of fuels were in that price range, but didn't look up the specific fuel specification used by the Concorde.
- fragmede 10mo agoSome version of Aviation Turbine Fuel (the other ATF) is used in passenger jets, which is either Jet A or Jet A-1 for colder, non-American flights. It is a kerosene-based fuel which does not contain any lead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_fuel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_fuel
