The US Navy has completed a successful test flight of an MH-60 Seahawk flown with a 50/50 blend of algae-based and petroleum-based jet fuels.
It marks the first time a military aircraft has flown on a 100 percent algae-derived jet fuel. The bio-fuel, Solajet RJ-5 from San Francisco, California-based Solazyme, is a drop-in replacement to traditional jet fuels and does not require engine modification for use.
