U.K. biofuel company Firefly will supply human waste-originated SAF to ultra-low-cost carrier by 2028.

The evaluation is designed to verify the pack can withstand the impact of a crash from 50 feet, which could cause the battery to leak, catch fire, or explode similar to a fuel tank.

XB-1 flight testing and evaluations will inform development of Boom’s Overture, a supersonic jet designed to carry 64-80 passengers twice as fast as subsonic airliners.

The electric jet manufacturer says Atlantic operates sites at more than 30 airport locations within its planned U.S. launch markets, which include Florida and Texas.

The company will inherit several pending patents and government contracts to ramp up development of its hybrid-electric propulsion system.

The company flew its hybrid-electric Eco Caravan using 100 percent ASTM D7566 SAF produced by partner Dimensional Energy.

lectric airplanes, air taxis, flying cars, drones, and other aircraft are being developed to address issues such as carbon emissions and the pilot shortage.

The agreement calls for Electra to deliver 90 aircraft to Surf Air, which will integrate them into its green regional air mobility platform.

The investment vehicle focuses on increasing the supply of SAF.
