In the 'VOL avec Carburants Alternatifs Nouveaux' (VOLCAN) project, an Airbus A321neo is flying using pure SAF in both engines for the first time. It is being chased by the German Aerospace Center's (DLR) Falcon 20E research aircraft, which measures emissions and ice crystals in the exhaust jet. In the future, the targeted use of SAF in contrail regions could help to rapidly reduce the climate impact of aviation.
