NASA joined with partners in October to generate
critical new data on sustainable aviation fuel through
Boeing's ecoDemonstrator project. As Boeing's second
ecoDemonstrator Explorer aircraft flew, switching
between sustainable aviation fuel and conventional jet
fuel, NASA's DC-8 aircraft collected data that measured
emissions and contrail particles from both types of fuel.
The DC-8, based at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research
Center in Edwards, alifornia, is the largest flying
Science laboratory in the world. The data it collected will
help advance our understanding of how sustainable
aviation fuel affects contrails, which trap heat in the
atmosphere. NASA and Boeing were joined by partners
including GE, the German Aerosapce Center, World
Energy, and the Federal Aviation Administration.
