But we still are no talking about SAF… do the exhaust fumes smell like French fries? 😉
According to the article,
The H225 test helicopter flew with an unblended SAF derived from used cooking oil, provided by TotalEnergies
And only deep frying leaves used oil. Which brings the next issue : how many kilogrammes of french fries must be cooked per flight hour? Given 2 liters of oil in a 1 kg deep fryer, and 10-15 uses before piping it to Total...
And only 50% of the helicopter engines run on 100% SAF, too
