NLR Assists in World Premiere of Biofuel-powered Apache Helicopter
A Royal Netherlands Air Force Apache (AH-64D) helicopter recently conducted a successful flight test at Gilzen-Rijen Air Base, in the Netherlands, during which one of the helicopter’s two engines was powered by an alternative biofuel.
The National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR) provided the Royal Air Force with support during the preparations for and conducting of the flight tests.
NLR supports the Royal Air Force in its drive to demonstrate that a blend of sustainable bio-kerosene and standard aviation jet fuel can meet the standard requirements for airworthiness.
