First biofuel flight

Aviation industry for several years flirt with the idea of using biofuels to power the commercial flights, but until this year held its first flight to use the proportion of 50% -50% of biofuels and traditional fuel. Continental Airlines company was bold and experimental flight took place over the Gulf of Mexico.
One Boeing 737 engines used organic fuel mixture. The main thing was watching the behavior of the engine fueled with new fuel. During the 90-minute flight without passengers pilots conducted a series of tests, declaring themselves satisfied with the behavior of the aircraft.
Even if the flight was a success, one of Continental Airlines officials said that no provision for using alternative fuels to power aircraft in the next 5-10 years than when reserves will grow biofuel will refine the procedures for obtaining them.
