Gulfstream and Rolls-Royce Test 100% SAF at High Altitude

Gulfstream and Rolls-Royce test 100% SAF at high altitude

Gulfstream and Rolls-Royce have completed a high-altitude test flight using 100% sustainable aviation fuel in a Gulfstream G800 powered by Pearl 700 engines. The flight formed part of Gulfstream Aerospace’s emissions testing programme and examined how neat SAF performs at altitudes of up to 50,000 feet, where business aircraft commonly operate. A modified Gulfstream G700, […]

Contrails, SAF, and Environmental Concerns

Gulfstream and Rolls-Royce have completed an initial research program studying contrails and particulates, recording a reduction in contrails with 100% SAF.

Pearl 700 completes 100% SAF flight

Rolls-Royce has announced that its Pearl 700 engines have successfully powered the first flight of a Gulfstream G800 using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), marking a significant milestone in efforts to reduce non-CO₂ emissions from business aviation. The flight formed part of Gulfstream Aerospace’s high-altitude flight test campaign to assess the potential of neat SAF to reduce the particulate emissions that contribute to contrail formation…
