These will be followed by the ground-breaking flight-emissions tests due to start in April and resuming in the Autumn, using DLR\u2019s Falcon 20-E \u2018chase plane\u2019 to carry out measurements to investigate the emissions impact of using SAF. Meanwhile, further ground tests measuring particulate-matter emissions are set to indicate the environmental impact of SAF-use on airport operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the flight and the ground tests will compare emissions from the use of 100% SAF produced with HEFA (hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids) technology against those from fossil kerosene and low-sulphur fossil kerosene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SAF will be provided by Neste, a leading worldwide supplier of sustainable aviation fuel. Additional measurement and analysis for the characterisation of the particulate-matter emissions during the ground testing will be delivered by the UK\u2019s University of Manchester and the National Research Council of Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toulouse, France, 18 March 2021 \u2013 A team of aerospace specialists has launched the world\u2019s first in-flight emissions study using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on a wide-body commercial passenger aircraft.
