Emissions from aircraft could soon be captured and reused as jet fuel. Engineering companies around the world are developing systems that can turn potentially harmful gases into useful energy. BBC News reports that green aviation specialists, SkyNRG are working with...
The aviation fuel of the future might be created in Scotland – with scientists working to make an environmentally-sustainable replacement. The Future of Aviation Fuel The fuel is created from waste wooden pellets which are heated, became a gas and mixed with...
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued on Wednesday a Safety Alert SA-079 warning providers of jet fuel to take measures to prevent contamination of jet fuel by diesel exhaust fluid. Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is required for all new on- and off-road,...
Have you ever realized how pilots know how much fuel they need for an aeroplane? It is not as simple as it sounds. A lot of people think that it is the same as with the car, you put fuel nozzle into a car and just load the full tank with fuel, but, actually, the...
The aviation industry produces 2 percent of global human-induced carbon dioxide emissions. This share may seem relatively small – for perspective, electricity generation and home heating account for more than 40 percent – but aviation is one of the...
How much fuel are aircraft required to carry? The refueling process is a bit different at every airport. The types and frequency of aircraft served, proximity to fuel delivery systems, environmental considerations, and–most importantly–safety all determine...
Aviation fuel is a specialized type of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft. It is generally of a higher quality than fuels used in less critical applications. Such as heating or road transport, and often contains additives to reduce the risk of icing or...
