Exciting news from Pratt & Whitney , MTU Aero Engines and #IAE which successfully tested the V2500 engine with 100% sustainable aviation fuel (#SAF) supplied by Neste.   Sustainable aviation fuel reduces greenhouse gas emissions (#GHG) by up to 80% in neat form, compared to using fossil jet fuel. SAF can currently be used blended up to 50% with conventional jet fuel. Once blended it is a drop-in solution, meaning it can be used in existing engines and fuel infrastructure without any modifications.    Tests like this on a V2500 engine which powers a significant fleet of aircraft, demonstrate that SAF can be used in existing engines even in 100% neat form. They also add to the growing body of research to developing future specifications for 100% SAF.   #Neste #NesteMYSAF #Aviation

Recognizing the crucial role of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in achieving aviation’s 2050 net-zero CO2 goal, industry giants including Airbus, Boeing, Dassault Aviation, GE Aerospace, RTX’s Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, and Safran have formed Work Group 13 (WG 13). Led by Boeing and Airbus, WG 13 will assess the impacts of 100% SAF on airplane systems, coordinate testing efforts, and inform ASTM International of new fuel specifications. This collaboration aims to prepare the aviation ecosystem for 100% SAF, supporting a sustainable aviation future.

Corporate members of the National Aeronautic Association are leaders in innovation, pushing towards better efficiency, sustainability, and safety for the aviation industry. Just weeks after receiving FAA type certification, the first two Gulfstream Aerospace G700 aircraft have been delivered and are now in service. Did you know that the G700 has claimed over 50 city pair records including records made with sustainable aviation fuel? Powered by the Rolls-Royce Pearl 700, this engine was developed exclusively for the Gulfstream G700 aircraft with the aim of packing maximum efficiency and technology into the aircraft propulsion system. The engine combines the most efficient engine core available across the business aviation sector with a brand-new low-pressure system, resulting in an 8% increase in take-off thrust at 18,250lb compared to the BR725 engine. The engine offers a 12% better thrust-to-weight ratio and 5% higher efficiency, while maintaining its class-leading low noise and emissions performance. #innovation #g700 #gulfstream #rollsroyce #records

V2500 Engine has proven viability with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Less guilt, more Mileage. SAF will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80%, so we can travel the world without feeling like a climate criminal. V2500 is designed & manufactured by IAE International Aero Engines- a global partnership including Pratt & Whitney, Japanese Aero Engines Corporation and MTU Aero Engines (Germany’s leading engine manufacturer). With 22,000 to 33,000 pounds of thrust, quieter than grandma's knitting circle, yet still packs a punch. strong and silent. Maintenance crew's best friend.. Keeps them busy, but not too busy – just the right amount of challenge to show off their skills without breaking a sweat. It’s got fewer breakdowns than your old car (and way more reliable)! It powers the Airbus A320 family, McDonnell Douglas MD-90, and the Embraer C-390 Millennium. #V2500 #engine #airbus #aviation #sky #thrust #embraer #MD90 #SAF #fuel #green #earth #sustainability

I remember writing about it 2 years ago, when ATR , the leading turboprop aircraft maker, announced their new airplane concept, called EVO. At that time, I had no idea I will be reunited with this airplane here at Cebu Pacific Air, after 15 years. While the newest model, the 72-600, is more advanced than the older versions, the EVO promises a lot more. The biggest leap will be an hybrid-electric powertrain which will be more fuel efficient and 100% SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) ready. The current target is to get the aircraft ready by 2030, which is ambitious considering the many challenges that the industry is facing today, most notably in the areas of supply chain and raw material availability. I am also very excited to see this technology evolve in comparison with the CFM International (CFM) RISE engines (also an open fan architecture) and the Airbus ZEROe platform which also presented a concept turboprop, powered by hydrogen. Overall a commendable effort towards sustainability in the regional markets and here's wishing the teams working on these path breaking ideas the very best.

Here’s to many more successful journeys ahead!

Our last members‘ call featured a presentation by Simon Newitt from Heart Aerospace on “Regenerating regional flying: An introduction to Heart Aerospace and the ES-30”. ✈ Heart Aerospace, a producer of #hybrid-electric aircraft, emerged from a research project and is dedicated to revolutionizing the #regional aviation market by addressing its challenging characteristics, i.e. its #emissions, its low #profitability, the high acquisition and maintenance costs, and the underusage of small regional #airports. Simon introduced us to the ES-30, a 30-seat hybrid-#electric aircraft that promises zero emissions operations on short routes. The aircraft uses batteries and additionally incorporates turbo generators fed by #fuel – ideally #SAF – that can be switched on and off and thus enhance the flight distance range. The charging time of the ES-30 is around 30 minutes and it boasts lower operating and maintenance costs when compared to conventional #aircraft. The aim is for the ES-30 to be type certified in 2028 with the first aircraft entering into service before the end of this decade. Considering the complexity of #decarbonizing #aviation, we are delighted to learn about innovative solutions like Heart Aerospace’s ES-30 that have the potential to contribute to this monumental effort. #sustainableaviation #electricaircraft #decarbonization #netzero #sustainableaviationfuel #aviationfinance #sustainability #sustainabletravel #impactmemberscall

How do the Gulfstream G600, Bombardier Global 6500 and Bombardier Global 6000 compare side-by-side, and what advantages are offered by each model? Mike Chase analyses the performance and productivity parameters. How much of a performance upgrade did Bombardier provide brand-loyal customers through the Global 6500, and where does Gulfstream’s G600 fit into the equation? The Gulfstream G600 offers greater range and payload capability than the Global 6000 and has the lowest per-mile and hourly operating costs of the group, but it comes with the highest price tag (2023-model). With three closely-grouped aircraft on the ‘Productivity Chart’, how should prospective buyers weigh their mission need to choose the right jet?
