The German aircraft manufacturer Deutsche Aircraft reached a significant milestone in aviation technology on October 9, 2024. For the first time, a test flight was successfully carried out with 100 percent synthetic, aromatic-free fuel. Both engines of the DLR aircraft D328 UpLift Flying Testbed were equipped with this innovative fuel. This flight marks the first for a CS-25 aircraft to operate exclusively on fuel that is chemically identical to power-to-liquid (PtL) fuels.

The test flight took place as part of the CLIM0ART measurement campaign, which aims to measure in-flight emissions and assess the potential of 100 percent aromatic-free PtL to reduce the climate impact of aviation. This type of fuel can be produced using sustainable CO2, renewable energy and water and has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 95 percent.

The measurement campaign is funded by the aviation research program (LuFo-Klima) of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection and is carried out in collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the fuel manufacturer Sasol. During the campaign, the D328® UpLift platform will fly in formation with the DLR Falcon 20E research aircraft, which is equipped with special probes to measure emissions. The results of the campaign are intended not only to contribute to the development of sustainable fuels, but also to improve air quality at airports.
