Well don't know about the USAF. but the burn speed is fairly constant for most of the hydrocarbons, at the same temp/pressure, regardless of the octane rating.
If the burn speed was slower, we would have to change the spark advance, with different octanes. We only have to change it to suit the compression pressure/detonation point.

Harvey.
Kerosene is still used as Jet fuel?

Maybe changing the time of the spark is how it is done with the switch to use the lower octane for SVX with the ECUtune Subaru SVX Stage 1v5 Performance Module

Is interesting subject for sure.
