Don’t aircraft still use leaded fuel to this day?
Only some small piston based aircraft engines. Commercial aviation doesn't use lead. It's not great, but it's not a particularly significant amount.
Jet aircraft use jet fuel(more refined Kerosene).
Yes. My boomer father drives to airports to get leaded gas for his lawn equipment and generators. He thinks I'm over reacting when I refuse to be near any of that shit when it's running.
