Propeller driven aircraft with internal combustion engines use high-octane gasoline much like is used in a car. In fact some aircraft are permitted to use automotive gas. AV-gas or 100 low-lead is usually 100 octane gasoline with lead additive.
Turbine-engined aircraft (jets, turbo-props and the like) use "Jet-A" or "JP-5" jet fuel. It is chemically very similar to diesel fuel or kerosene, but with de-icing & other de-fouling additives.
Confusing the two types of fuel can be a deadly mistake, and so aircraft are always plainly labeled as to which type is required.

Aviation turbine fuel.
What differs nitro airplanes from other airplanes?
Nitro airplanes usually use a different kind of fuel than that of other planes. Some of these planes use castrol oil, regular oil, or diesel, it just depends on the plane.
What vehicles use turbine engines and what kind of fuel do they use?
Turbine engines are most commonly found in airplanes. They use gas for fuel. They are also known as "jet" engines, hence the term for the plane.
What kind of energy does the airplane use?
Airplanes primarily use jet fuel as an energy source to power their engines and propel them through the air. Jet fuel is a type of fossil fuel that is specifically designed for use in aircraft engines.

What kind of fuel does an airplane use?
Airplanes typically use aviation fuel, which is a specialized type of fuel with different grades such as Jet A and Jet A-1 for commercial aircraft, and Avgas for smaller general aviation planes. These fuels are distinct from standard gasoline or diesel used in cars.
