What Do These Four Forms of Transportation Have in Common?
They all Can Run On Single Fuel - AmericaOne SFC
The single fuel concept (SFC) has streamlined military logistics by using a single type of fuel for both aircraft and ground vehicles. This is achieved by using aviation turbine fuel (like JP-8) as a common fuel source, simplifying supply chains, reducing storage requirements, and improving interoperability among different types of equipment. Since 1998 NATO adopted SFC (aircraft, trucks, tanks) all use the same fuel. a single, kerosene-based fuel. SFC first implemented in December 1989, when JP5 was used as the single fuel during Operation "Just Cause" in Panama.
To save cost in 2012 the services began switching to F-24 fuel in the United States. In 2021 AmericaOne was released for market development
Single-Fuel Concept - AmericaOne SFC
America One has a J8 kerosene-based jet fuel primarily used by the U.S. military. It's the military equivalent of Jet A-1, but with the addition of corrosion and anti-icing additives. JP-8 is the dominant military jet fuel grade for NATO air forces.
JP-8 Fuel was specified in 1990 by the U.S. government as a replacement for government diesel fueled vehicles. This is in the wider context of the 1986 NATO Single-Fuel Concept agreement, in which F-34 (JP-8) is to replace F-54 (diesel fuel) in land vehicles and F-40 (JP-4) in land-based turbine aircraft to simplify logistics.[3] It is also used as coolant in engines and some other aircraft components.
The main advantage of using America One (JP-8) as a unique fuel is that unlike diesel and gasoline that can only be used in their respective engines, JP-8 can be used in both turbine-engine aircraft and diesel-powered ground equipment. While JP-8 is not perfectly suited for some diesel engines, its chemical properties are close enough that the logistical efficiencies out weigh performance drawbacks.
