Why Airplanes Use Kerosene Rather Than Plain Gasoline for Fuel ? From small airplanes like the Cessna to large twin-engine jets like the Airbus A380, all combustion-powered airplanes require fuel to operate. Like combustion-powered automobiles, they burn fuel to create the power needed to achieve and maintain a safe flying speed. While there are several types of aviation fuel, though, most consist of kerosene. So, why do airplanes use kerosene rather than plain gasoline for fuel? Kerosene has a lowering freezing point than gasoline, making it naturally protected against freezing in otherwise bone-chilling temperatures. But regardless, it takes cooler temperatures for kerosene to freeze than it does for gasoline to freeze. In addition to a lower freezing point, kerosene has a higher flash point than gasoline. Flash point refers to the temperature at which a combustible chemical or substance ignites and turns to vapor. With its higher flash point, kerosene offers higher octane ratings to...

​​ What is Black Box? The Black Box or Flight Data Recorder of an Airplane is an instrument which records all the activities of the airplane during its flight. From the security point of view, this box is generally kept at the back side of the airplane. This Box is made of Titanium metal and is enclosed in a Titanium box which gives it strength to withstand any shock if it falls in sea or falls from the height. It can work for 30 days without any electricity. It can withstand a temperature of 11000°C. When this box is lost anywhere, it keeps on emitting the waves along with a beep sound for about 30 days. This voice can be identified by the investigators from a distance of about 2-3 Kilometers. An interesting fact with regard to Black box is that it can emit waves from the depth of 14000 feet in the sea.

How does the Pressurisation System work? In most modern aeroplanes, the aircraft engine compresses the outside air for the purpose of propulsion. A part of hot compressed air, before it is mixed with the fuel, is 'bled' into the cabin - but only after it is cooled appropriately to a comfortable temperature, from the aircraft engine. The air from the aircraft engine is routed through air cyclic machines, or  'packs' which Condition the air for temperature and humidity and then pumped into the cabin.
