may I ask, what kind of FUEL does an aircraft consume?

I heard from race fanatics. . . if we'll put aircraft fuel to a racing bike or car, it would run faster
how true?

basically there are two kinds of fuel used on aircraft. for piston powered aircraft (mostly small airplanes and some small helicopters), AVGAS or aviation gas is used. this is quite similar with the fuel we use for our cars and MC's but this has a higher octane rating. this can also be used for race cars and MC's that has modified engines that can take high temps from the combustion of this fuel.

another kind is the jet fuel which is commonly known as JETA or JETA1. this fuel is used on turbine powered aircraft like airliners and larger helicopters. this is similar with kerosene and diesel fuel.

maybe you all want to take a look at this, a scene from almost famous na movie... mao ni dapat buhaton ug ma crash na padng, pero cguro-a nnu ug ma crash ba jud kay basin maparehas mo nila, labi na sa last person na ni confess hahahaa

@cptn_star

asa diay located ang manual brake sa Airbus ug Boeing..?
ingon daw kato mismo rudder pedals ang tumban..

and during sa taxi.. naka set raba sa idle ang throttles or gamay lang i apply sa N1 setting.. Naka observe man gud ko sa CGY airport basta mag 180 turn ang A320 murag taas ila N1 power gi apply.. (by looking at those exhaust heat and the familiar spooling noise of CFM-56B engines)

Sa mga Airbus, taas kaayo ang residual thrust sa engine even at idle. They can taxi at idle thrust especially at lower weights. All the pilots need to do is release the brakes and the plane starts moving forward. At heavier weights, they may need to apply some thrust to "break away", but then once the plane starts moving it'll usually just keep taxiing with idle thrust.

Sharp turns will of course need higher thrust, but the recommendation is never to go beyond 40% N1 (sa A320 idle N1 is around 19%).
