It leaves at the speed of the plane, mixes it
rapidly with the air, and evaporates very quickly. Think *giant* fuel

I get the picture, but never imagined any kerosene based fuel would
evaporate so readily.

Evaporating from a puddle of liquid, you are right; it would not.

If you atomize it by letting it into a 250 MPH airstream, it will be a mist;
that will evaporate very quickly.
