EADS Flies An Aircraft On Algae Based Fuel Successfully

Remember the Algae based jet fuel that was supplied to the US Navy for testing? Well, EADS – makers of Airbus have successfully flown an aircraft fueled entirely by an algae based biofuel. The aircraft – Diamond DA 42 New Generation is a small twin prop airplane. The company claims that the aircraft can be dubbed “low emission”. Yeah,we know that – if you are taking off 85% of the emission from the equation, it is indeed a low emission plane.
