Does it matter what kind of fuel or how many engines you have if you have been cleared into the class B ?
 
From experience I can affirm that both 100LL and Jet A work in class Bravo. Singles and twins, props and jets all seem to work. I don't know about lighter than air or gliders... I've heard lawn chairs with balloons can make it into the Bravo as well.

What seems to matters most (speaking as a pilot) is how confident and alert you sound on the radio.
 
My home field is right under the Bravo. I fly in it every time I fly, it really is no big deal. I am often surprised by all the press it gets here.
 
I think we need more flying into the Bravo,and less talking about it.

The piston twin that crashed near APA recently never made it into the Bravo. The turbine twin that left just before made it into the Bravo. Draw your own conclusion.
 
There guys seem to be able to fly in it too.

And they are powered off whatever they find in your trash.
