airbus

An Airbus A380 aircraft has successfully completed the world's first ever flight by a commercial aircraft using a liquid fuel processed from gas (Gas to Liquids - GTL) in the first stage of a test flight programme to evaluate the environmental impact of alternative fuels in the airline market.

After making his fortune from oil, one of the main sources for pollution around the globe, the Russian billionaire might just be the most polluting man on the planet. A380 can empty the tank of 81,890 gallons in one flight.

Most of us have been on at least one flight in our lives, boarding a massive jumbo jet that burns thousands of gallons of fuel to soar through the sky. What you might not know, is how quickly those jets, the companies who build them, and the companies who fly them, are changing industry standards to become more and more sustainable.
