Air New Zealand biofuel flight set for Dec. 3
You are at: Oilgae Blog.
The world’s first commercial aviation test flight powered by a sustainable second-generation biofuel is ready to go Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2008.
The jatropa fuel has been blended 50:50 with standard Jet A1 fuel by Air New Zealand at its Auckland Engineering Base. The biofuel blend, named J50, has been transferred into an RNZAF fuel tanker ready to fuel the Air New Zealand Boeing 747-400 early next week.
The two-hour test flight is scheduled to take off from Auckland airport on the morning of Dec. 3, with the jatropha biofuel blend powering one of the Air New Zealand Boeing 747-400’s Rolls-Royce RB211 engines.
