In the U.S., recently, a new biofuel has been tested to determine its suitability for use in fighter aircraft. An F-22 Raptor used during a test flight from the U.S. air base Edwards, a blend of conventional jet fuel and camelina 50:50. This English "Camelina is called cruciferous plant thrives in poor soils without water or nitrogen and is insensitive to cold and drought.
CO2 emissions from fuels are biofuels Camelina, according to Sustainable oils decreased by 75% that of conventional jet fuel. That would have life-cycle analysis of the art at the University of Michigan said.As is clear from the "Edwards Air Force Base News, graduated in combat maneuvers, including a " Super Cruise "at 12,000 meters at a speed of 1.5 Mach. As Super Cruise is the ability of an aircraft to fly without afterburning faster than the sound permanently. According to Jeff Brown, director of the Alternative Fuels Division Certification of Aeronautical Systems Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, the test is a milestone in the achievement of the requirements of the Air Force for 2016. Then by order of President Barack Obama alternative fuels cover 50% of domestic demand for fuel for military aircraft.
The company, based in Bozeman, Montana, said it has delivered some 2,200 gallons of Camelina-based biofuels in the U.S. Army (Air Force, Navy and Army). "engine based on the false flax are among the fuels aviation testing, " says Scott Johnson.
According to the managing director of Sustainable Oils Camelina has been tested at the military air traffic as well as civil aviation. Johnson makes a point that Camelina does not compete with food production, but even they admit. The plant can cope well in rotation with wheat grown in rainfed areas. Given the high content of protein and omega-3 fatty acids are the residues from the extraction of oil seeds, approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as food for livestock and poultry.
Other benefits of camelina is that the plant would be quite readily available in large enough quantities for the production of aviation fuel. The plant also grows well in northern U.S. states. It is the quality of soil and climate does not apply to areas for growing food or fodder. Because Camelina is also much more resistant to cold than conventional biodiesel offers camelina feed especially for use in fighter aircraft.
