Comac’s C919 and ARJ21 jets complete first SAF flights
In China, ECNS reported that Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) said that an ARJ21 regional jet and a C919 large passenger aircraft completed their first demonstration flights using sustainable aviation fuel. The flights, departing from Shanghai Pudong Airport and Dongying Airport in Shandong respectively, lasted over an hour. The SAF used was produced using a bio-jet fuel production technology independently developed by Sinopec. The raw material for this SAF comprises waste oil from restaurant leftovers. After being collected and processed, this waste oil is converted into bio-jet fuel at Sinopec’s Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company, which houses the country’s first industrial facility for producing bio-jet fuel, the report stated.
