Rồi lại bị trụy tim chăng?

For the first time ever, a commercial plane (máy bay thương mại) flew across the Atlantic Ocean without using fossil fuels (nhiên liệu hóa thạch).
Virgin Atlantic said the test flight from London to New York was powered only by sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF, a broad category of jet fuel that creates fewer carbon emissions than standard kerosene blends. The fuel on this flight was made from waste fats (mỡ) and plant sugars and emits (phát thải) 70% less carbon than petroleum-based jet fuel. It landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Nov. 28.
Experts say sustainable aviation fuels (nhiên liệu hàng không bền vững) may one day play a big role in shrinking the aviation industry’s carbon footprint (dấu chân các-bon) — even though its production is minuscule today. SAF accounts for about 0.1% of airlines’ current fuel consumption
Virgin Atlantic’s 100% SAF flight is a one-time stunt, and the airline won’t regularly offer all-SAF flights. Standard jet engines aren’t designed to run on only sustainable fuel, and it is too expensive and rare for it to be practical for airlines to run all-SAF routes.
Still, Chen says it’s a milestone.
