Flying Green

I look forward to a time when every motorized form of transportation goes completely green. I guess we are in transforming times. Airbus conducted its first test of an aircraft using a 50-50 mix of GTL and kerosene in one engine in 2008, while a Qatar Airways Airbus A340 flew from London to Qatar burning a GTL-kerosene mix in all four engines last month. The whole aircraft manufacturing industry, including engine and airframe manufacturers, were collaborating on alternative fuel projects. Algae, which can be grown in salt water, as a promising source of biomass for alternative fuels, its believed this is the golden chalice the world has been looking for. We are moving to a much more green planet.
