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

Did you know that the GE9X engine, used in the Boeing 777X, is the largest and most powerful jet engine ever built? It's designed to be more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly. #GE9X #JetEngineTech #TechThursday #AviationTechnology #Aviation #AviationFacts

They power us thousands of miles across the Atlantic, but how do jet engines actually work? The basic operation of a jet engine is relatively simple. The blades spin rapidly, compressing the air entering them. This compressed air is in turn sprayed with fuel and a spark is used to ignite the new mixture. As the gases burn, they expand and shoot at high speed through a nozzle at the back of the engine, thrusting the aircraft forward. This technology was first invented in 1939 and has undergone continuous development since that time to power the aircraft we fly on today. https://buff.ly/4eGowRj #airlines #pilot #aeroplane #aeroplanes #aviation #avgeek #aviationnews #jet #jetengine #engine #planes

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱’𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝗦𝗔𝗙 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 Gulfstream Aerospace became the first in the aviation history to complete the transatlantic flight powered only by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The Gulfstream G600 aircraft made the legendary flight from Savannah, the USA to Farnborough, the UK on November 19, 2023. This flight hugely contributes to the future implementation of low-aromatic renewable fuels, particularly in terms of long flights which are made under cold temperatures. Additionally, this fuel has a reduced impact on local air quality and very low sulfur content, reducing non-CO2 environmental impacts. 🗞 Based on the article published by AeroTime and Luke Peters (https://lnkd.in/e5YRTwxa). 📷 Courtesy of Gulfstream Aerospace. #aviation #aircraft #airplanes #sustainableaviationfuel

With the initiation of SAF I believe things will be taking a much more environmentally friendly turn.

We are proud to share that recently Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. achieved a groundbreaking milestone by completing the world’s first trans-Atlantic flight using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Departing from Savannah, the Gulfstream G600, powered by Pratt & Whitney PW815GA engines, landed at Farnborough Airport in England after a 6-hour and 56-minute flight. This historic mission not only demonstrates the feasibility of renewable fuels but also highlights their potential for reducing carbon, sulfur, and aromatics in aviation. The data collected during this endurance flight will play a crucial role in assessing aircraft compatibility with low-aromatic renewable fuels, especially in cold temperatures and extended durations. The SAF used in the flight, provided by World Energy, LLC and delivered by World Fuel Services, consists of 100% Hydro-processed Esters and Fatty Acids (neat HEFA). This fuel boasts at least 70% lower lifecycle CO2 emissions than traditional jet fuel, contributing to a reduction in aviation's impact on climate. Additionally, it has zero added aromatics, improving local air quality and maintaining very low sulfur content. Mark Burns, president of Gulfstream, emphasized the company's commitment to a sustainable future, stating, "Gulfstream is innovating for a sustainable future." In addition, we would also like to congratulate Burns on receiving the Lifetime Aviation Industry Leader Award during the Living Legends of Aviation Awards, held Friday, Jan. 19 in #BeverlyHills, #California. This is a well-deserved achievement and one that deserves to be celebrated!     To learn more about the flight visit:   https://lnkd.in/egdAcAt8   To learn more about their President, Mark Burns, visit:   https://lnkd.in/e75waFY2 #GulfstreamAerospace #Airflight #SustainableAviation #GreenFlight #GulfstreamInnovates #planes #aircraft #airplanes #jets #Sustainability 

The future is becoming more sustainable 💚 Aviation has been developing at an immense pace for many years. Not only are the standards and capabilities evolving but also the aircraft propulsion systems. Out of my own conviction, I am enthusiastic and believe in a form of aviation that uses only CO2-neutral fuels. I therefore have the greatest respect for Airbus for actively taking this step and driving this project forward. It is worth taking a look at this link to see how Airbus is trying to master this challenge 👇 https://lnkd.in/d_qbwUWG #Aerospace #Airbus #zeroe #CO2neutral #Aviation #decarbonization
