Embraer Executive Jets has successfully flown a Phenom 300E and Praetor 600 using 100 percent sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), the manufacturer announced on the eve of NBAA-BACE 2023. The flight tests took place at Embraer’s campus in Melbourne, Florida.

During those test flights, the right engine of each airplane was powered by neat SAF provided by World Fuel, while the left engine ran on traditional jet-A. According to Embraer, the flight tests provided valuable insights into the engines’ performance.
