Good new I guess, although I did have to look up what SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) is. Apparently it’s a type of biofuel, til.
This is excellent news!
Oh so that’s what SAF is about. I thought it was something like SAS my employer would force me to get certified in..Phew..
UK advantage industry of course
Sustainable Aviation Fuel is bullshit. All biofuel production does is hog arable land for the production of fuel instead of food. Not really sustainable.
I understand the engine runs on biofuel. By the way, the USSR already flew experimental planes on liquid hydrogen in 1988, the Tu-155 with the HK-88 engine. If it wasn’t for ’91, Soviet hydrogen-powered planes would probably be flying now
Food burning is disgusting.
Turbines can be made to run on most liquid fuels. The turbine is not groundbreaking. The fuel might be, but probably not. Biofuels are not new. Sounds like a puff piece.
