Dependence on fossil fuels in transportation is gradually decreasing. This revolution, which started with electric cars, continues in the aviation industry with alternative fuels. Europe-based aviation giant is one of the leading companies working in this field. Airbus is coming.
Finally, a new success Airbus, managed to fly a passenger plane powered by fuel made from spent cooking oil. According to the statement, the plane specially designed for the project took off from a runway in France and stayed in the air for three hours. Here are the details…

Airbus A380 flew three hours on frying oil
Alternative fuel studies for airplanes and cars have been going on for years. Although electricity seems to be the main solution in this area, recycled fuels also maintain their importance. Sustainable Aircraft Fuel (PUREA type of fuel called ) is particularly prominent in this area.
This fuel, which is specially produced for airplanes and made from waste cooking oils such as frying, was tested on the Airbus A380 model passenger plane. The plane, which took off at 08:43 local time from Blagnac Airport in Toulouse, France, stayed in the air for three hours.
The Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine of the Airbus A380, which did not experience any problems during the flight, was operated with 100 percent SAF. Company officials who made a statement on the subject said that the fuel “smells like french fries”.
This was seen as a big step forward as Airbus and the aviation industry strive to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050. Although it is still used for short-haul flights, this fuel is expected to be used frequently in domestic flights in a short time.
