Bell will begin incorporating sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in all operations at its helicopter training academy and for use by its customer demonstration fleet, the company announced late last week. The renewable drop-in blended fuel has previously not received much attention from the rotorcraft industry, and the Fort Worth, Texas-based OEM is the first helicopter operator to receive SAF shipments from global fuel distributor Avfuel.
