What is F-44 (JP-5) Fuel?
F-44 is the NATO designation for JP-5 – the standard high flash-point aviation turbine fuel for naval and shipboard military aircraft. Its minimum 60°C flash point, significantly higher than land-based F-34 (JP-8) at 38°C, is the operational requirement that makes carrier and shipboard aviation fuel handling safe. Absalon Resources supplies MIL-DTL-5624 compliant F-44 (JP-5) fuel to NATO naval forces, defense contractors, and carrier-based operational programs worldwide.
How to Buy F-44 (JP-5) Fuel from Absalon Resources
F-44 Fuel Supply (JP-5) Military Additive Packages
FSII
Prevents ice crystal formation at high altitudes and cold temperatures. Mandatory for naval aviation operations at high altitudes where water in fuel can freeze and block fuel filters.
SDA
Static Dissipater Additive. educes static electrical charge that builds up during high-speed fueling operations. Essential for carrier deck refueling where rapid, high-flow-rate fuel transfer is standard operational practice.
CI/LI
Corrosion Inhibitor / Lubricity Improver. Protects metal surfaces in fuel tanks, pumps, and engine components from corrosion — particularly critical in shipboard environments where salt exposure and humidity accelerate corrosion of untreated fuel systems. Simultaneously improves lubricity to reduce wear on fuel system moving parts.
F-44 (JP-5) Frequently Asked Questions
What is the flash point of F-44 (JP-5) fuel?
JP-5 (F-44) has a minimum flash point of 60°C which is significantly higher than JP-8 (F-34) at 38°C. This elevated flash point is required for shipboard and carrier fuel handling where the risk of fire in enclosed fuel storage spaces demands enhanced safety margins. Naval UAV operations from ships therefore standardize on JP-5 in line with manned naval aviation fuel practice.
What is the freezing point of F-44 (JP-5)?
F-44 (JP-5) has a maximum freezing point of -46°C (-51°F) per MIL-DTL-5624. This guarantees adequate fuel flow in airframe fuel systems at high altitudes where ambient temperatures commonly drop below -40°C.
What is F-44 (JP-5) fuel used for?
F-44 (JP-5) is NATO’s primary fuel for naval and shipboard aviation. It is also used for naval UAV operations where the shipboard fuel standard applies.
What is the difference between F-44 (JP-5) and F-34 (JP-8)?
The main difference is flash point. F-44 (JP-5) has a minimum flash point of 60°C, required for naval and shipboard operations where enclosed fuel storage demands elevated safety margins. F-34 (JP-8) has a minimum flash point of 38°C and is NATO’s primary land-based military aviation fuel. Both are NATO standard fuels supplied by Absalon Resources.
Is F-44 the same as JP-5?
Yes. F-44 is the NATO designation for JP-5 under the STANAG fuel identification system. Under NATO’s F-code fuel identification: F-34 = JP-8 (land-based), F-44 = JP-5 (naval), F-35 = Jet A-1 Military Grade. This ensures interoperability across all NATO nations.
Can UAVs run on F-44 (JP-5)?
Yes. F-44 (JP-5) is the standard fuel for naval heavy-fuel UAV operations where shipboard fuel logistics standardize on the elevated 60°C flash point. See our JP-5 UAV Fuel page for UAV-specific procurement information.
