Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. has successfully completed the world’s first trans-Atlantic flight using 100pc sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on a Gulfstream G600 aircraft.
The flight, powered by Pratt & Whitney PW815GA engines, showcased the potential for renewable fuels in aviation and their lower carbon, sulfur, and aromatics content.
The data collected from this endurance flight will help Gulfstream and its suppliers assess aircraft compatibility with future low-aromatic renewable fuels, especially in cold temperatures and extended flight durations.
Gulfstream’s use of SAF contributes to their commitment to sustainability and advancing the industry’s efforts in reducing environmental impact. Partners such as World Energy, World Fuel Services, Honeywell, Safran, and Eaton supported this milestone flight.
