The avio Diesel engine is believed to be an innovative, high efficient and powerful engine system in thr air transport. In this paper, the self-ignition of standard jet-fuels in a Diesel engine-like environment is studied. The jet-fuel ignition plays an important role of the entire combustion process to minimize the weight/power ratio, without compromising the high conversion efficiency and the low production of pollutants opf modern Diesel engines. The Shell auto-ignition model is used to simulate the Jet-A and JP-8 fuels auto-ignition. Ad-hoc model kinetic parameters are proposed. The results are compared with those available in the literature to show the accuracy of the proposed model constants.
