Max temperature, open air temperature, etc. Are the temperatures in this artice: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_fuel correct?

Yes they are. The temperature varies depending on the availability of oxygen. It is a combustion reaction and by looking at the reaction formula you can see the optimum amount of oxygen needed.
Best answer?

Hi. The link seems correct. The hottest part of a jet engine is where the flame meets the first stage turbine components. The temperature in the engines I worked on were higher than the melting point of the refractory metals used. Last months "FLYING" magazine has a good article on Sir Frank Whipple.
