Anther Jatropha test - Japan

posted on Dec 29, 08 02:39PM

In Montana, Sustainable Oils said that Japan Airlines will stage a one-hour Boeing 747 test flight on January 30, 2009, using camelina-based biodiesel as a test fuel. The fuel will be processed by UOP, and used in a no-passenger test flight out of Japan’s Haneda Airport. The 747-300 uses Pratt & Whitney JT9D engines, and will use a mixture of 84 percent camelina, nearly 16 percent jatropha, and less than one percent algae. The biodiesel will be mixed in a B50 blend with conventional jet fuel.

The test flight will be the third in a busy month for Boeing aircraft, with Air New Zealand conducting a 747-400 test flight on December 30th out of Auckland and Continental Airlines conducting a trial on a 737 on January 3rd, operating out of Houston in the first two-engine test flight.
