An amazing feat of flying a plane using ‘green diesel’, a fuel made from vegetables and animal meat, has been performed!
Normally, aviation petrol is used for flying planes. A research was undertaken by experts to find an alternative natural fuel resource.
A company from USA undertook this experiment. Oil extracted from vegetables, oil left over after cooking, and animal fat were used to make a new fuel called ‘green diesel’.
The experts mixed 15% of green diesel with 85% aviation petrol. They used this to fly an ‘Echo Demonstrator 787’ plane and tested.
The experiment was a success and the plane flew. The result of the test has been announced as a success!
