What a spread of answers.
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 antiice additive and is the most common. Jet B is a wide cut grade (kerosene mixed with gasoline) and is used mostly in helicopters, although turbne engines can burn virtually anything, including gasoline.
Reciprocating aircraft engines use Avgas (a type of gasoline). It used to be available in a variety of types: 80/87 (Red dyed), 100 (Green Dyed) and 130 (Purple). These all had high lead additives. 100LL (Blue) is a low lead Avgas that is the most popular for aircraft piston engines. Mogas (auto gas) can also be used on homebuilt and ultralight aircraft and can be used in certified aircraft with approval and correct modifications to the engine and fuel system.
Diesel engines are making a comeback. The Diamond DA-42 is a light twin engines aircraft that can be ordered with diesel engines, but will run mostly on Jet A1 or Jet B since it is more readily available at airports.
Methanol is only used mixed with water for boosting power of some turbine engines. It is NEVER used in aircraft reciprocating engines.

Clearly not one of these people read your question and each one jumped to a conclusion. There are several different fuels available for airplanes depending on which one you're talking about. There's jet fuel, gasoline, diesel, methanol, and others. You must clarify which particular type of airplane you're talking about. If you're talking about jet airliners, it's Jet A. Small, private airplanes use avgas (gasoline with some additives). There were even some planes way back in the early 20th century that ran on diesel. Might even be a few still around. Please be more specific next time.

Answer by ♥♥ Peachy ♥♥ is correct.
I could not have answer this any more accurately.
My only other comment is. Not every one knows everything, some people may know lots of things but they still may not know everything.
So please do not feel bad, or feel bad about your teacher.
PS
kerosene, Jet A, and diesel are all Kerosene(K with suffix 1,2,3,....) each number denotes slightly different blending, hence the different use.
Lots of people are also indicating Jet A1 as Kerosene based fuel and this is true too. Numbers are just blends and some may be interchangable. In this case "A"= Aviation, Jet = for jet engine, you can have marine jet engine and stationary jet engine also.

Yes the fuel used in aeroplane is pure processed kerosene which liberates a lot of energy when lighted in presence of oxygen.

It is jet fuel which is a high grade of kerosene and is similar to diesel fuel. This is whats used on jets and turbo props which is a turbine driven propeller engine. Small private planes and old world war 2 era planes have piston driven engines and they would use petrol.
