Safran: helicopter flies on 100% SAF
(CercleFinance.com) - It's a first - Safran has announced that an Airbus H225 helicopter has completed the first-ever helicopter flight using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which powers 100% of Safran Helicopter Engines' two Makila 2 engines.
This flight test followed the test campaign conducted in Bordes by Safran teams. This time, the two Makila 2 engines ran on sustainable aviation fuels.
As a pillar of the strategy to decarbonise aviation, initiatives by equipment manufacturers and aircraft manufacturers are accelerating to advance the transition to this type of fuel.
