The first flight in UK airspace of an aircraft completely powered by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has been successfully completed.
The test flight was a joint endeavour between the Royal Air Force (RAF), aerospace giant Airbus, along with other industry partners, such as engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce.
A military variant of the Airbus A330 commercial jetliner, both engines of which used 100% SAF made from cooking oil, took off from RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, on Wednesday (November 16).
