It's called Av-gas. Very high octane. My cousin restores WW2 airplanes and they all run on Av gas. Expensive, but once you've flown in one of those planes, you'll know it's worth it.
What type of fuel is used in an aeroplane and helicopter?
Turbine powered aircraft (including jets, turboprops, and many helicopters) use jet fuel. It is a heavy fuel like kerosene. Jet A is the heavy grade and Jet A1 is heavy grade with an anti-ice additive and is the most common. Jet B is a wide cut grade (kerosene mixed with gasoline) and is used mostly in helicopters, although turbine engines can burn virtually anything, including gasoline.

It depends on the engine. A piston engine will use avgas or diesel depending on whether the engine is a diesel engine,while a turbine engine will use jet fuel.
