Airbus A380 plane powered by cooking oil and waste fat completes flight

An Airbus plane powered by used cooking oil and waste fat has completed its first flight.

The A380 aircraft took off from Toulouse, in France, and flew for about three hours, according to the aerospace giant, which has a major UK base in Filton.

According to Airbus, the plane's Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine used 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to fly. SAF is non-fossil derived and is being used to replace traditional fuels in the aviation industry in a bid to reduce carbon emissions.
