Rolls-Royce has achieved a significant milestone by successfully completing compatibility testing of 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) on all its in-production civil aero engine types. This accomplishment fulfills the commitment made in 2021 to demonstrate that there are no engine technology barriers to the use of 100% SAF.
The ground test on a BR710 business jet engine at Rolls-Royce’s facility in Canada marked the completion of the testing program. Various engines, including the Trent 700, Trent 800, Trent 900, Trent 1000, Trent XWB-84, Trent XWB-97, Trent 7000, BR725, Pearl 700, Pearl 15, and Pearl 10X, were part of the comprehensive testing.
