The manufacturer ATR announced that it has conducted ground and flight tests on its prototype aircraft ATR 72-600, accumulating seven hours of flight with 100% from sustainable aviation fuel (PURE) in an engine.
The aircraft was powered by Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel™ produced from raw materials 100% renewable and residual, like used cooking oil.
These tests are part of the certification process 100% aircraft SAF ATR. in september 2021, ATR announced a collaboration with Braathens Regional Airlines and Neste to accelerate this certification. The three companies are working closely together, with the aim of carrying out a demonstration flight in 2022. What is sought is to complete the ATR aircraft certification process to 100% saf para 2025.
Sustainable aviation fuels are a key pillar of the strategy of decarbonization of the aviation industry, with an immediate impact on the reduction of CO2 emissions. An ATR flying a typical regional route with 100% SAF on both engines reduce CO2 emissions by a 82%.
Stefano Bortoli, CEO of ATR, said:
“As a regional market leader, our goal is to lead the change towards decarbonization. ATR turboprops, that already emit a 40% less CO2 than regional jets of similar size, are the ideal platform to offer significant advances in the reduction of CO2 emissions. Achieving this major milestone demonstrates that we are fully committed to making it possible to use the 100% of SAF and help our customers meet their goals to provide even more sustainable air links, not in 2035 O 2050, but in the coming years".
