IAE AG tests V2500 engine with 100% SAF

IAE International Aero Engines has successfully tested the V2500 engine with 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at MTU Maintenance Hannover, Germany. The engine currently powers the A320ceo family aircraft and the Embraer C390 Millennium jet. IAE AG is a joint venture comprised Pratt & Whitney Aero Engines International, Japanese Aero Engines Corporation, and MTU Aero Engines. ""This test with 100% SAF demonstrates that V2500 engines can continue contributing towards making aviation more sustainable in the decades ahead,"" said IAE AG president and Pratt & Whitney mature commercial engines vice president Kim Kinsley. ""With nearly 3,000 V2500-powered aircraft in service today, IAE recognises our important role in supporting the industry's goal to meet net zero CO2 emissions by 2050."" ""This test demonstrates our commitment to supporting greater use of SAF across both our entire network and the broader industry,"" said MTU Aero Engines chief program officer Michael Schreyogg. Schreyogg added that the MTU Maintenance Hannover facility was the first site to carry out a 100% SAF test on a V2500.
