On 17 December 2018, Experimental Test Pilots and Test Engineer from IAF’s premier testing establishment ASTE, flew India’s first military flight using blended bio-jet fuel on the An-32 transport aircraft.
About:
The project is a combined effort of IAF, DRDO, Directorate General Aeronautical Quality Assurance (DGAQA) and CSIR-Indian Institute of Petroleum.
This fuel is made from Jatropha oil sourced from Chattisgarh Biodiesel Development Authority (CBDA) and then processed at CSIR-IIP, Dehradun.
IAF intends to fly the An-32 transport aircraft using 10% biojet fuel on 26 January 2019, in the Republic Day flypast.
Promoting biojet fuels has the dual benefit of reducing the carbon footprint as well as usage of fossil fuels.
