We are delighted to announce that the RAF Typhoon aircraft display at this year’s Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) will be powered using a blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and normal fossil fuel.

The aircraft is manufactured by BAE Systems the headline sponsor of RIAT.

The display at RAF Fairford this Saturday and Sunday will be the first time the aircraft has displayed to the public using the blended sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
