Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) can be classified in the group of biofuels, and it has the same characteristics as conventional jet fuel but with a much lower carbon footprint. Having a lower carbon intensity, SAF gives airlines an important solution for minimizing aviation greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) that account for 9 to 12 percent of all GHGs in the U.S.

Today, almost every commercial airplane fly at an altitude that varies from 9 000 to 13 000 meters - or something between 30 000 and 42 000 feet. The lower point is much higher than any of the highest obstacles that could obstruct their way across the skies.

The aircraft hydraulic system works on the principle of Pascal’s law and conservation of energy, which states that if you apply pressure to liquid anywhere in a particular system, this action causes there to be equal pressure distributed evenly throughout the entire system.
