I wonder if we'll just end up running jet engines on biodiesel for long-haul flights where batteries aren't viable.

- nradov 5y agoYes this has already been tested in existing commercial turbine engines and works fine. It's safe and won't require any changes to aircraft or aviation infrastructure. The sticking point is the cost of manufacturing the fuel. It will only be economically viable with some major government intervention.
- zardo 5y agoA sticking point for biofuels but in all likelihood one they share with hydrogen.
