It looks as though the British RAF is going to change to using biofuel for flying military aircraft.<\/p>\n
The new fuel mix for British Royal AF jets will be plant-based fuel for aviation vehicles from now on. Commercially, that fuel is known as biokerosene.<\/p>\n
Is this an effort to please the ecohippies infernal demand for obedience? Well, kind of, because Boris Johnson has turned out to be a compleat idiot about such things. His girlfriend is a dyed-in-the-wool ecohippie and he is her slave.<\/p>\n
But no, it is less likely a bow to the Greenbeaners than it is an effort to stretch a fuel budget. In addition, it\u2019s something that\u2019s been under research for a while now and is no more an impediment to progress and defense than baking cookies in your oven.<\/p>\n
Someone somewhere on another blog thinks that airplanes – especially jet aircraft – run on diesel, but they don’t. They run on kerosene, or kerosene and gasoline mixes, and research on biokerosene has been underway for a while now.<\/p>\n
