Joint research flights with biofuels
NASA’s ‘flying laboratory’, a DC-8, flies closely behind the DLR A320 ATRA (Advanced Technology Research Aircraft), in the Airbus’ exhaust stream. On board, scientists measure the composition of the exhaust gas stream and investigate the effects of biofuels such as HEFA on the formation of soot particles and ice crystals.
