Efforts to decarbonise long-haul air travel have been boosted by a study of the impact of 100 per cent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on Airbus A350 commercial jet engines.

Very nice. Good to see one of the big commercial aeroplane manufacturers working on this and building on the A319 tests.
Interesting outcome of this is reduced contrails so all the conspiracy loons should have fun with that.
Well, partly disappointing, looks like largely animal and plant based fuel… how much per liter for my diesel?
SAF is being rolled out commercially. This week saw the first commercial flight with one engine fully running on SAF in the US. United has been mixing it with traditional jet fuel for a while now to lower it’s footprint. Hopefully the industry can start rolling it out globally.
