#SustainableAviationFuel promises to reduce the climate impacts of flying — but does it deliver?
#ECLIF3✈️ flew a commercial aircraft using 100% #SAF for the first time. It's shown reductions in ice particles, a non-carbon climate impact of flying. #ILA24...
Collaborative research 🔎✈️ like this offers a promising outlook for environment-friendly civil aviation.📖Read more about #ECLIF3 and its predecessors on our website:...
#ECLIF3 combines our ✈️ expertise with that of @Airbus, @RollsRoyce & @NesteGlobal, & builds upon the past successes of ECLIF1 & ECLIF2, which included @NASAaero as a partner. Each study has increased our knowledge 💡 on the potential of sustainable jet fuel alternatives. #FlyDay
Happy #FlyDay! ✈️ One of the greatest long-term challenges facing #CivilAviation is environmental sustainability. Last month, #ECLIF3 measured the emissions from a passenger aircraft powered entirely by Sustainable Aviation Fuel #SAF for the first time.
✈️ Aircraft are currently only allowed to operate on a 50% blend of #SAF & conventional jet fuel. Initial results of #ECLIF3 show that the engines release fewer particulates under all operating conditions when using pure SAF. This will support the drive to certify 100% SAF use.
