The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague and GE Aviation Czech have concluded an agreement at the International Engineering Fair 2021 to cooperate on the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for the new GE Catalyst turboprop engine.

Specifically, it demonstrates the capabilities of a new catalyst powered by a drop-in alternative fuel blended with Jet-A1, traditionally used in commercial air transportation, to provide a range of data and analyses to help to achieve the goal to replace 10% of traditional global fuel consumption by SAF within 10 to 15 years (today the use of SAF represents only 1%) and even to reach 100% of SAF use by 2050.

Check out this video from our colleagues at Avio Aero, who have mapped the entire story of the GE Catalyst engine since its birth.
