The work is devoted to the investigation of low-temperature properties of alternative jet fuels mixed with bio-additives derived from rapeseed oil, methanol and ethanol. For the scope of this work modification of conventional jet fuel with bio-additives derived from rapeseed oil, methanol and ethanol were chosen to develop alternative jet fuels. The main low-temperature characteristics – freez-ing point and pour point of conventional jet fuel and three types of bio-additives were identified and compared with the requirements to conventional Jet A-1 fuel. The influence of bio-additives derived from rapeseed oil, methanol and ethanol on low-temperature characteristics of new jet fuels has been studied and explained. The necessity of studying new technologies is grounded. Mathematical depend-encies of freezing point and viscosity of alternative fuels on bio-additives content were proposed
