This is an amazing news. The Super Jumbo has taken off and finished its test flight with green fuel.
Super Jumbo Takes Off Using 'Green' Fuel
"In our drive for cleaner fuels, GTL technology can help reduce local emissions and encourage sustainable mobility."
Airbus president and CEO Tom Enders said: "Fuel and energy are key challenges aviation is facing and for which technology and international research collaboration open up new horizons.
"Our alternative fuels roadmap requires innovation, diversity of ideas and options that need to be explored."
Sebastien Remy, head of Airbus' alternative fuels programme, said: "The age of easy energy is over."
Mr Remy said GTL was better than traditional kerosene jet fuel because it did not deplete the world's oil supply.
It produces less emissions of local pollutants, like carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons, and is virtually free of sulphur.
I think this is great great news, given that Air Travel causes Global Warming.
