Pure sustainable fuel powers Trent 1000 engine

Rolls-Royce has successfully demonstrated the functionality of pure sustainable aviation fuel to power its Trent 1000 jet engine, which recently completed an SAF-powered flight with a Boeing 747 test plane. “This flight is another example of collaboration across the value chain to make sure all the aircraft technology solutions are in place to enable a smooth introduction of 100% SAF into our industry,” Rolls-Royce’s Simon Burr said.
