Honeywell and Embraer have achieved a significant milestone by successfully testing Honeywell’s HTF7500 turbofan engine on the Praetor 600 aircraft using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This test, conducted at the Embraer campus in Melbourne, Florida, involved one engine running on 100% SAF and another using traditional jet fuel.
The results of the test indicate that the HTF7500 engine operates flawlessly when using 100% SAF, demonstrating its compatibility with sustainable aviation fuel. This achievement is a crucial step in promoting the use of SAF in aviation, reducing carbon emissions, and making air travel more environmentally friendly.
