Summary
| Description | NASA joined partners in October 2023 to generate critical new data on sustainable aviation fuel through Boeing’s ecoDemonstrator project. In this video, instruments are uploaded onto NASA Armstrong’s DC-8 aircraft that will collect data measuring the emissions and contrail particles from sustainable aviation fuel and conventional jet fuel used by Boeing’s second ecoDemonstrator aircraft. The DC-8, based at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, is the largest flying science laboratory in the world. The data it collected will help advance our understanding of how sustainable aviation fuel affects contrails, which trap heat in the atmosphere. NASA and Boeing were joined by partners including GE, the German Aerospace Center, World Energy, and the Federal Aviation Administration. |
