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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airbus, German research centre DLR, Rolls-Royce and SAF producer Neste have teamed up to start the pioneering \u2018Emission and Climate Impact of Alternative Fuels\u2019 (ECLIF3) project looking into the effects of 100% SAF on aircraft emissions and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Findings from the study – to be carried out on the ground and in the air using an Airbus A350-900 aircraft powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines – will support efforts currently underway at Airbus and Rolls-Royce to ensure the aviation sector is ready for the large-scale use of SAF as part of the wider initiative to decarbonise the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuel-clearance engine tests, including a first flight to check operational compatibility of using 100% SAF with the aircraft\u2019s systems, started at Airbus\u2019 facilities in Toulouse, France, this week. 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

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

\u201cSAF is a vital part of Airbus’ ambition to decarbonise the aviation industry and we are working closely with a number of partners to ensure a sustainable future for air travel,\u201d said Steven Le Moing, New Energy Programme Manager, Airbus. \u201cAircraft can currently only operate using a maximum 50% blend of SAF and fossil kerosene; this exciting collaboration will not only provide insight into how gas-turbine engines function using 100% SAF with a view to certification, but identify the potential emissions reductions and environmental benefits of using such fuels in flight on a commercial aircraft too.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy investigating 100% SAF, we are taking our research on fuel design and aviation climate impact to a new level. In previous research campaigns, we were already able to demonstrate the soot-reduction potential of between 30 and 50% blends of alternative fuels, and we hope this new campaign will show that this potential is now even greater”, said Dr Patrick Le Clercq, ECLIF Project Manager at DLR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn our post-COVID-19 world, people will want to connect again but do so sustainably. For long-distance travel, we know this will involve the use of gas turbines for decades to come. SAF is essential to the decarbonisation of that travel and we actively support the ramp-up of its availability to the aviation industry. This research is essential to support our commitment to understanding and enabling the use of 100% SAF as a low-emissions solution\u201d, said Simon Burr, Director Product Development and Technology, Rolls-Royce Civil Aerospace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
