Description: The airframer is testing the ability to use 100% SAF.

For its own test and demonstration flights, Airbus runs its aircraft on sustainable aviation fuel as far as possible. Before the flight demonstration of its A350-1000 wide body airliner at the Singapore Airshow, the company demonstrated the refuelling process using a 35 percent blend of SAF made from used cooking oil and tallow that Shell supplied.
