First Study on Commercial Jet Travel on 100% Sustainable Fuel
A joint study on the impact of 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on both engines of a commercial jet have shown highly promising results in the early phases of analysis, says Airbus. Working with fellow industry veterans Rolls-Royce, fuel production specialist Neste, and German Research Centre DLR, the test is the first time that both engines of a commercial passenger aircraft have been run on 100% sustainable fuel, a departure from the norm. The study focuses on the in-flight emissions on the Airbus A350 and its Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines.
