INTRODUCTION Many parts of a successful aircraft are easily visible he control surfaces, engines, wings, fuselage, and structure for instance. But the fuel that powers the engines is equally important, though not nearly as visible. Aircraft engines, from powerful piston engines to jet turbines, have always required a more sophisticated form of fuel than most ground vehicles, and the technological development of this fuel to power the engines is just as significant as other technological advances. HISTORY OF FUEL Many parts of a successful aircraft are easily visible the control surfaces, engines, wings, fuselage, and structure for instance. But the fuel that powers the engines is equally important, though not nearly as visible. Aircraft engines, from powerful piston engines to jet turbines, have always required a more sophisticated form of fuel than most ground vehicles, and the technological development of this fuel to power the engines is just as significant as other technological advances. HISTORY OF FUEL For the first few decades of flight, aircraft engines simply used the same kind of gasoline that powered automobiles. But simple gasoline was not necessarily the best fuel for the large, powerful engines used by piston-driven airplanes that were developed in the 1930s and 1940s. HISTORY OF FUEL Before World War II, Major Jimmie Doolittle realized that if the United States got involved in the war in Europe, it would require large amounts of aviation fuel with high octane. Doolittle was already famous in the aviation community as a racing pilot and for his support of advanced research and development (and would later earn even wider fame as head of the 1942 B-25 bombing raid on Tokyo). In the 1930s, he headed the aviation fuels section of the Shell Oil Company. HISTORY OF FUEL Fuel is rated according to its level of octane. High amounts of octane allow a powerful piston engine to burn its fuel efficiently, a quality called "anti-knock" because the engine does not misfire, or "knock." At that time, high-octane aviation gas was only a small percentage of the overall petroleum refined in the United States. Most gas had no more than an 87 octane rating. Doolittle pushed hard for the development of 100-octane fuel (commonly called Aviation Gasoline or AvGas) and convinced Shell to begin manufacturing it, to stockpile the chemicals necessary to make more, and to modify its refineries to make mass production of high- octane fuel possible. HISTORY OF FUEL As a result, when the United States entered the war in late 1941, it had plenty of high-quality fuel for its engines, and its aircraft engines performed better than similarly sized engines in the German Luftwaffe's airplanes. Engine designers were also encouraged by the existence of high-performance fuels to develop even higher-performance engines for aircraft. HISTORY OF FUEL 2 MillionYears Ago The first Known use of fuel by our ancestor Homo Erectus, using stick and wood to make fire. 3,500 BC First Definite evidence of man’s involvement with charcoal as a fuel, found in southern Europe and Middle East. HISTORY OF FUEL 2,500 BC First definite evidence of coal burning in china. Coal was used in cooking and heating. 2,000 BC By the commencementOf bronze age in Btitish, the use of charcoal was common place. Charcoal was able to burn much higer temperature, over 1000˚C in a forge, and can smlt tin and copper together to produce bronze. HISTORY OF FUEL 1 AD China first collect Crude oil and refine petroleum for fuel for laps using oil well. 1600 -1700’s British discover how to cook coal to transform it into a hot-burning coke. This become a major fuel for the 18th , 19th ,and 20th century industry. ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY Instruction: Answer the following question in a paragraph form. Identify the timeline in our history were fuel was invented, the persons behind the development of fuels especially aviation fuels.
