Virgin flies from London to New York without fossil fuel.
Scientists have surprised everyone for the first time in the world by flying an aircraft without oil i.e. without fossil fuels. For the first time in the world, an aircraft has brought a new revolution by flying from London to New York without fuel. The aircraft was powered entirely by high-fat and low-emission fuel. This is the first commercial aircraft which made a historic flight on Tuesday by covering the distance from London to New York without fossil fuel. During this time it crossed the Atlantic Ocean, which is being called ‘Jet Zero’.
Boeing-787 aircraft of the aviation company ‘Virgin Atlantic’ was operated without using fossil fuel. The aviation fuel used for this flight was made from waste fat. Virgin founder Richard Branson said, “Unless you do something special, the world always assumes that it can’t be done.” Were boarding the plane together.
Britain gave 1 million pounds
Britain’s Department of Transport has provided 1 million pounds (12.7 million US dollars) to plan and operate the flight. The department termed the test as ‘a major step towards jet zero’ in making air travel more environmentally friendly. However, there are still many obstacles to widespread production of such fuels. The US Department of Energy said that sustainable aviation fuel is the best way for the international aviation industry to achieve the goal of zero carbon emissions by 2050 (‘Net Zero’), as it reduces greenhouse gas emissions by about 70 percent. However, he termed the target as ambitious. (AP)
