The main goal for this is to use fuels that are better for the environment, and leave a smaller carbon footprint. This idea is still in testing, and biofuel is not used in most commercial flights today.]]> 2017-04-06 01:14:08 UTC https://padlet.com/561531/1wmca0sawjgd/wish/165027100 561531 https://padlet.com/561531/1wmca0sawjgd/wish/165028116 People used biofuel for cars a while back, for example: the model T was supposed to use hemp derived fuel. But, the whole idea was scrapped when oil came, because it was less expensive and easier to obtain. But Greenflight International made the first trip using biofuel happen. ]]> 2017-04-06 01:20:56 UTC https://padlet.com/561531/1wmca0sawjgd/wish/165028116 561531 https://padlet.com/561531/1wmca0sawjgd/wish/165029617 This method of fuel is way better for the earth, so it would probably make the air a little cleaner (I'm not an environmentalist, I don't know). I can also assume that oil based fuels will become cheaper and/or obsolete/illegal? ]]> 2017-04-06 01:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/561531/1wmca0sawjgd/wish/165029617 561531 https://padlet.com/561531/1wmca0sawjgd/wish/165219363 This article states that there are now 5 approved biofuels to be used. One of the goals was to allow the biofuels to be suitable for existing aircrafts without modification. Biofuels are also better for the environment and are renewable.]]> 2017-04-06 17:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/561531/1wmca0sawjgd/wish/165219363 561531 https://padlet.com/561531/1wmca0sawjgd/wish/165221361 2017-04-06 17:46:41 UTC https://padlet.com/561531/1wmca0sawjgd/wish/165221361 561531 https://padlet.com/561531/1wmca0sawjgd/wish/165221541 2017-04-06 17:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/561531/1wmca0sawjgd/wish/165221541 561531 https://padlet.com/561531/1wmca0sawjgd/wish/165223655 In this video, it walks you through the process of refining oil from algae. There are many ways you can benefit economically, because algae is a renewable resource. Their first gallon of algae fuel costed around $30, but with innovations, they brought it down to $2. Also, if every power plant had an algae plant next to it, global warming could be potentially solved.]]> 2017-04-06 17:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/561531/1wmca0sawjgd/wish/165223655 561531 https://padlet.com/561531/1wmca0sawjgd/wish/165227820 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_biofuel#Demonstration_flights
