The Navy's alternative energy program expanded when a T-45 training aircraft completed a successful bio-fuel flight at Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River.
The ‘Salty Dogs’ of Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 23 flew the high-performance jet trainer on a bio-fuel mixture of petroleum-based JP-5 jet fuel and plant-based camelina. The high oil content of the camelina seed makes it a valuable source of renewable and sustainable energy.
“This successful test flight brings us a step closer to meeting the Navy's energy security goals,” said Vice Adm David Architzel, commander, Naval Air Systems Command. “My congratulations to the Navy fuels team here at NAVAIR for playing an instrumental role in proving the viability of bio-fuels to power naval aircraft.”
