TU Delft investigates climate impacts of sustainable aviation fuels

April 8, 2025 |

In The Netherlands, TU Delft said it conducted unique measurements with a high percentage of (more) sustainable aviation fuel. During education flights for third-year students with teaching and research aircraft PH-LAB, there was a mixture in the tank of regular kerosine with 38% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The PH-LAB, a Cessna Citation, is used by TU Delft for educational flights every year in March. Students in the third year of the Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering made a flight as part of the Flight Dynamics course to experience theory in practice, the entity said. The SAF on which TU Delft has flown was supplied by Shell and purchased from Jet Aviation. The fuel was made of mostly used cooking and baking oil.
