Airbus, the designer, manufacturer and seller of civil and military aerospace products worldwide, in collaboration with The Royal Air Force and other industry partners has successfully carried out the world’s first 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) flight of an Airbus using an in-service military aircraft. The test flight is also the first 100% SAF flight of any aircraft type carried out in UK airspace.
The flight test was conducted on an RAF Voyager – the military variant aircraft of the Airbus A330 commercial jetliner. The aircraft took to the skies above RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, England, on 16th November 2022. This milestone flight will open a path for a range of possibilities for the future of flying military aircraft.
