Is it true that the fuel for jet-engines burns only without oxigen.

According to you, what was the speed of the two B767's when they hit the towers.

Thanks

No it's not true. If it was true there would be no need for the fan and compressor stages in the engines.

Mono-fuels burn without oxygen. These are used in some starter motors (to give the initially momentum energy to turn the starter motor) but I don't believe any of the starter motors in civil aircraft use monofuel starters.

As for the speed of the two aircraft at the point of impact; on the TV animation I remember seeing something around 350-380kts.Both the planes slowed down a bit from their initial speeds in the 400 region.

They were quite close to the sea level, so their true airspeeds would be quite close to the indicated airspeed. It looks like they were riding the overspeed clacker on the way in there, so that puts them in the 330-350 knot range.

Chicks dig winglets.
