Syntroleum’s Fischer-Tropsch jet fuel was tested in a B-52 on September 19, 2006 at Edwards Air Force Base in California. This historic flight utilized Syntroleum’s fuel in two of the plane’s eight engines and is the first time that FT jet fuel has been tested in a military flight demo. This landmark event is a result of more than four years of successful research and development efforts with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), focused on producing a high performance alternative fuel for military applications.
