ExxonMobil Aviation

July 26, 2016, Solar Impulse 2 landed in Abu Dhabi to eager crowds and cameras. After 14 months of travel and 550 hours in the air, the plane had accomplished what many had deemed impossible: traveling 25,000 miles around the world—over four continents, two oceans and three seas—without a drop of liquid fuel.   Only the future can show us for certain how battery technology will change aviation, but the past has taught us that milestones like this aren’t to be ignored. Just as we were with the Wright Brothers, Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, Jeana Yeager and Dick Rutan, ExxonMobil plans to play a key role in how battery technology changes flight — and to support the brilliant engineers who make this transformation possible.   Be sure to visit the 120 Years non-stop site, and check back often for the latest updates: https://bit.ly/45kHZCV   #aviation #history #solarimpulse2

National Amelia Earhart Day -- On what would be her 127th birthday, ExxonMobil Aviation salutes one of the greatest aviators of all time, the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and an inspiration to a burgeoning industry and the world. Her final flight with navigator Fred Noonan ended in tragedy, but this has done nothing to diminish the impact of her legacy — which is itself perhaps the greatest testament to the lasting impact of her fearlessness. Nearly a century of aviators have idolized her, studied her, and followed in her footsteps and jet-streams. #WeAreExxonMobil #aviation #120yearsnonstop

Delivering product solutions for the energy transition, today! We are pleased to share, we recently supplied 500,000 liters of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to Air New Zealand. A first of its kind delivery to Wellington, the nation’s capital and one more step towards a lower GHG emissions future. The SAF was blended and supplied by ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Pte Ltd, leveraging its integrated refining and petrochemical complex in Singapore for the blending process. Today, our portfolio of fuel products includes conventional jet fuel, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and aviation gasolines to meet our customers evolving energy needs.

Why is Mobil Aviation Grease SHC 100 so exceptional? We think it’s because we developed it in collaboration with the OEMs to satisfy the most pressing needs of the industry. This is why we developed a six-year shelf life, alleviating pressures with inventory value and stock management. It’s why the grease's Lithium Complex Polyalphaolefin formulation offers maximum protection and component life in ball bearings, increasing uptime and minimizing risks of unplanned downtime. And it’s why it helps protect against corrosion and degradation in a wide range of temperatures, both high and low. If your fleet could benefit from Mobil Aviation Grease SHC 100, one of the experts on our team can help you determine how best to make that happen. #aviation #Mobil #aircraftmaintenance

“If you enjoy what you do, why change that?” asks Mohamed Nouser. He’s one of Mobil Aviation’s top innovators, a Technology Solution Professional based in Clinton, New Jersey. For the #HearFromOurExperts series, we asked him how he got into aviation lubricants, what he most enjoys about his work, and what he sees in the future. “My favorite parts of the job are problem solving, keeping the customer OEM happy,” Mohamed says. His job is basically the connective tissue between cutting-edge products and the day-to-day challenges our customers and partners face on the tarmac. Or, as he put it: “trying to understand, from a chemistry perspective, why certain suppliers’ samples work — and why others don’t.” Mohamed is like most of our Mobil Aviation innovators: people who can’t see a challenge without wanting to develop a solution. His attitude and work ethic are the driving force behind our industry, the reason we took to the skies 120 years ago and the reason we’ll continue to fly higher and faster for another 120 years… and beyond.

National Air Traffic Control Day: As engineers and lubrication specialists, we tend to spend the majority of our time celebrating the support technicians who use our products and the innovations in efficiency and uptime that we play a direct role in. But the truth is, our industry is supported by millions of people with a wide variety of skills and passions, and one of those groups is Air Traffic Controllers. On July 6, 1936, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Air Commerce began federal control of en route traffic to improve system safety. For the past 88 years, Air Traffic Controllers have overseen our air travel routes, providing vital communications and context that keep our pilots, passengers, and cargo safe day in and day out, year after year. #airtrafficcontrol #aviation #careers

This year, ExxonMobil is celebrating 120 years of aviation by commemorating the innovation and steel-nerves of the fearless pilots who helped make this industry possible. But it’s just as important to acknowledge that we still support the daredevil #innovators of today, like Bruce Bohannan, who was inducted into the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame in 2022 after setting 25 records with his ”Exxon Flyin’ Tiger.” #aviation #history

Dan Kadlecek, Principal Aviation Fuel Scientist at ExxonMobil and his colleagues recently attended the ASTM International D02 June Committee Week in Austin, TX. The team was there to support updates to the primary aviation fuel specifications, advocate for increased manufacturing flexibility while maintaining the industry’s focus on fuel safety, quality and supply reliability. This was a valuable opportunity to collaborate with colleagues and industry stakeholders on important technical standards central to the aviation industry! #SAF #aviationfuel #ASTMInternational #exxonmobilaviation #exxonmobilaviationfuels

Aviation fact or fiction? “Improperly designed or tested lubricants can create leaks and other problems that cost airlines significantly when aircraft must be taken out of service for maintenance.” Fact – As temperatures in today’s increasingly powerful engines continue to trend upward, engineers are exploring newer, more heat-tolerant alloys for bearings, gears and gear boxes, as well as new materials such as ceramics for fan blades and other equipment. Despite the tightly regulated nature of jet oils, compatibility issues have arisen as jet engine technology has advanced. In general, there is good compatibility between the synthetic esters used to make jet oils. But the additive chemicals that provide enhanced performance or anti-wear properties for jet oils are less predictable, which is why suppliers test rigorously for compatibility with a variety of metals found in engine components. #aviation #trueorfalse #mythsbusted

Designed for exceptional stability both on the shelf and in the machinery, Mobilgrease™ 33 is a lifesaver for fleets looking to consolidate their inventory and simplify their maintenance routines. The ester-free polyalphaolefin (PAO) and lithium complex blend provides optimum performance, hydrolytic stability, and resistance to thermal and oxidative degradation, exceptional wear protection, water washout resistance and (your team will thank you for this) a total lack of offensive odor. #aviation #Mobil #aircraftmaintenance
