Abstract
► Several alternative aviation fuels are studied: a Gas-to-liquid (GtL), a fully synthetic jet fuel (CtL) and blends of GtL. ► Burning velocities are measured at ambient pressure and elevated preheat temperatures exploiting the cone-angle method. ► Measured data are used for the validation of a detailed chemical reaction model following the idea of a surrogate. ► Good agreement between measured burning velocities and predicted laminar flame speeds is achieved. ► The findings support the potential of the investigated fuels to serve as alternative aviation fuels.
