Pilot planning round-the-world biodiesel flight for 2009
Filed under: Biodiesel, Etc., Green Daily
Back in October, an L-29 military aircraft named BioJet I powered by nothing but B100 biodiesel made a successful flight over Reno, Nevada. That short jaunt has now set the stage for something bigger: the first round-the-world flight powered by biodiesel. The pilot behind this undertaking is Doug Rodante, and he's assembled a team called Green-Flight International to help him use the cheaper and more environmentally-friendly biofuel in his quest. The team is currently working on an FAA fuel test, according to this article from WFTV. The next step should be a cross-country flight in May before heading off around the globe sometime next year.
