Rolls-Royce has announced the completion of compatibility tests using 100 per cent Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), which is said to be compatible with the company’s in-production civil aero engines.
This adheres to the company’s pledge in 2021 to demonstrate there are no engine technology barriers to the use of 100% SAF.
The U.K. Civil Aviation Authority has issued Virgin Atlantic with a permit to fly a world-first transatlantic 100 percent SAF flight. Virgin Atlantic plans to fly across the Atlantic from London Heathrow to New York JFK on Nov. 28.
Virgin Atlantic is set to mark a significant milestone with its VS100 flight, a world-first transatlantic 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) flight scheduled for 28 November 2023. The flight aims to demonstrate the viability of SAF as a sustainable alternative to conventional jet fuel. By harnessing SAF, industries could significantly reduce their carbon footprint, paving the way for sustainable long-haul travel and setting new environmental standards.
