GULFSTREAM COMPLETES WORLD'S FIRST TRANS-ATLANTIC FLIGHT ON 100 PER CENT SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL (SAF)

GULFSTREAM ANNOUNCED THE successful completion of the world’s first trans-Atlantic flight using 100 per cent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

- 

Accomplished on November 19, the flight took place on a Gulfstream G600 aircraft, which departed the company’s headquarters in Savannah and landed 6 hours, 56 minutes later at Farnborough Airport in England.

Powered by Pratt & Whitney PW815GA engines, both using 100 per cent SAF, this mission showcases the potential for aviation’s future use of renewable fuels, which feature lower carbon, sulfur and aromatics. The data collected from this endurance flight will help Gulfstream and its key suppliers gauge aircraft compatibility with future low-aromatic renewable fuels, particularly under cold temperatures for extended flight durations.
