Air Force receives first shipment of synthetic fuel for testing
This story reminds me of a scene in the movie, Cars. Lightning McQueen: Wow, this organic fuel is great! Why haven't I heard about it before? Filmore: It's a conspiracy, man! The oil companies got a grip on the government. They're feeding us a bunch of lies, man!
The first batch of synthetic fuel that will undergo flight test in a B-52 later this year has been shipped to the USAF.
The first truckload of bulk fuel was delivered the week of June 19 to Tinker Air Force Base.
Over the next few months, engineers will use the fuel to run tests on dismounted Pratt & Whitney TF33-P-3/103 turbofan engines.
